Romans 12:21
21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
Victory is won. The Lord won the battle at Calvary therefore we are the victors not the victims in this world. We may live here but we are not "of this world" for our time here is temporal. The Lord is preparing our eternal place in Heaven. We cannot be surprised of the evil that surrounds us. The schools took the Lord out of their classroom and now the government wants God off our currency and we wonder why there are horror stories of school shootings and economic crashes of epic proportion. Evil is all around us. But we are children of God and we are the light in this other wise dark place. We are to shine His goodness and grace and spread His promise of salvation to all the people. For the people of this Earth are either for God or against God. We are effected by evil everyday in the workplace with competitors wanting what we have. Instead of retaliating, we are to forgive and not react to their behavior. We are to look at things through the eyes of the super natural and know that the challenges we face are directly correlated to the Lord and when we know that, we can accept things better and handle situations calmer. When someone trespasses against you, forgive. When someone does you wrong, pray for them for they do not know what they do.(Luke 23:34) Pray pray pray in all things. And most of all we need to rejoice in the Lord, always. For we are more than conquerors in Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:37)
