Rise Above: Conquering Evil with Good

Don’t Let Evil Defeat You—Defeat Evil by Doing Good
In a world where negativity can scream louder than kindness, Romans 12:21 gives us a powerful reminder: “Don’t let evil defeat you. Defeat evil by doing good.” This verse isn’t just a call to be “nice”, it’s an invitation to live with strength, intentionality, and spiritual resilience.
Evil manifests in many forms: hurtful words, injustice, discouragement, pressure, temptation, or even the quiet battles within our own hearts. But God never intended for us to fight darkness with more darkness. Instead, He equips us with something far greater, goodness that comes from Him.
Doing good is not weakness. It’s spiritual warfare. Every act of kindness pushes back against despair. Every choice to forgive breaks a chain. Every moment of love plants a seed that outgrows bitterness. Goodness is God’s strategy for victory, and when we choose it, we partner with His power rather than our own.
So today, don’t let the world pull you down to its level. Rise above it. Shine anyway. Love anyway. Serve anyway. Because when you choose good, you don’t just survive, you overcome.
Keep going. Your goodness makes a difference.
