Roman's 12:21 "Don't let evil conquer you. But conquer evil by doing good."
Lots of wisdom here. We would all agree that we see and hear evil in the world today. I don't even need to describe it. We are taught to resist evil. We certainly should not promote it or spread it. We must be on guard. Evil can be bold and obvious, or subtle and clandestine. Simplest solution to the dilemma of identifying evil is to ask God. "God, is this of you, from you or for you? There may be far more evil than we initially think. The hardest parts of scripture image always the action item parts. We may avoid evil defensively. But will we proactively promote good? That is our kingdom assignment. Do good. Think good, then act out on that good thinking.
So today I will resist evil and nor let it plague me or conquer me. I will do good thereby conquering evil. The battle is on. The lines are drawn. Choose who you will serve today. We are more than conquerors through Christ who strengthens us. So be strong and seize your day, for good.
Like the saying says, "for goodness sake".
