For You From The Word
Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
(Romans 12:21)
For You To Think About
Good is a powerful deterrent to evil.
Take, for instance, those who are deeply moved by the issue of choosing life. Rather than be overcome by evil, they have invested in good by working to remove places where darkness thrives. In 1995, there were 1,900 abortion clinics operating across the U.S. Today, there are an estimated 650-750. One way to work for good is to counter the opportunity for evil to flourish.
Simultaneously, visionaries have worked for good by increasing options for pregnant women other than abortion. As the number of U.S. abortion clinics declines, there are between 3,000 and 4,000 U.S. pregnancy care centers now actively operating.
Strong, committed believers who walk with those who face an unplanned pregnancy point them to Jesus and life. They are working to overcome evil with good.
Overcoming evil with good helps preserve life.
For You To Pray
Lord of life,
Strengthen Your people to shine Your light where darkness tries to hide. Continue to increase options and support for pregnant women. Work through us to overcome evil with good.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
