Friday – March 6
Scripture: Romans 12:9–21
“Overcome evil with good.”
This is not naïveté. It is courageous discipleship.
Paul names real hostility—persecution, enemies, wrongdoing. Yet retaliation is not the answer.
To overcome evil with good is to refuse to let darkness dictate behavior.
This requires deep grounding in Christ. Otherwise, we mimic what we oppose.
Injustice must be confronted. But
the spirit in which we confront it matters.
Bless those who persecute you.
That may be the hardest Lenten discipline of all.
Reflection Questions
- Where am I tempted toward
retaliation?
- What would overcoming with good
look like?
- How does love resist becoming
hatred?
