Send us a textWhat's your first reaction when someone hurts you? For most of us, the instinct is to defend, retaliate, or at least hold a grudge. But Romans 12:21 challenges us with a radical alternative: "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good."This powerful devotional unpacks what it truly means to rise above evil rather than being defined by it. Evil comes in many forms—harsh words, betrayal, unfair treatment, or broader injustice. When faced with these challenges, our natural responses often allow negativity to shape us, perpetuating cycles of hurt. But there's a higher way available to believers.Through practical wisdom, we explore five tangible ways to overcome evil with good: praying for those who hurt you (perhaps the hardest but most transformative practice); responding with disarming kindness when hostility is expected; choosing forgiveness that frees you without excusing wrong; maintaining integrity even when costly; and trusting God with outcomes rather than attempting to settle every score. These practices aren't just nice ideas—they're powerful testimonies that confuse the enemy and draw others to Christ.The truth is, while you can't control the evil that happens around you, you absolutely can stop it from growing within you. Choose goodness today, not because the world deserves it, but because Christ has shown it to you first. Your actions reflecting God's nature, especially in difficult moments, become living proof that goodness is never wasted. Ready to walk this higher path together?
