TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
The scripture says, “We overcome evil with good.” In other words, when
somebody’s rude or inconsiderate, don’t sink down to their level. Don’t
be rude and inconsiderate back to them. No, if you going to rise higher,
if you are going to overcome, you have to do just the opposite. You
have to show kindness, grace and mercy. It isn’t always easy; in fact,
it’s almost never easy. It takes a lot
of humility to treat someone with respect who is disrespecting you. But
do you know what happens when you walk in humility? God gives you His
grace. He empowers you to walk in His goodness. Scripture plainly says,
“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
Today,
walk humbly with God and overcome evil with good. Show mercy and sow
mercy. Receive His grace, receive His power, and receive His strength to
be everything He’s called you to be.
A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, thank You for the grace to overcome in this life. I choose Your
goodness. I choose Your ways. Help me to show Your love and walk in
peace in every circumstance in Jesus’ name. Amen.
— Joel & Victoria Osteen
