You are doomed! You call evil good and call good evil. You turn darkness into light and light into darkness.
ROMANS 12:21 (NLT)
Don’t let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good.
THE ESSENCE
Evil calls its actions good. However, we conquer this kind of corruption by doing real good.
DAILY FODDER
Can you think of any contemporary examples of evil masquerading as good? Do you ever find yourself justifying something as wrong by saying that it ends up creating more good or that it is the lesser of two evils? How do we get past this kind of nonsense?
PRAYER
You are holy, God, and I am not. Too often, I succumb to old, sinful ways. Forgive me for ignoring or excusing my attitudes and behaviors. Thank you for forgiving me. Help me to make clear moral choices between good and evil. I want to live in your light, overcoming evil with good. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,

Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
