A verse from an earlier day, with its reflection and prayer.

Overcome evil with good

“Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

Read in context Explain

Today's insight

When you face unkindness, injustice, or cruelty, the natural impulse is to strike back with the same bitterness. Yet this verse calls you to a different path: "Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good." Meeting harm with harm only allows wrongdoing to win twice, but choosing goodness disarms malice and brings true victory.

Reflect

Where in your life today are you tempted to return hurt for hurt, and what would it look like to respond with genuine good instead?

Prayer

Lord, when I am wronged or mistreated, keep my heart from growing bitter. Give me the strength not to be overcome by the darkness around me, but to answer every trial with your goodness and grace. Amen.
