Avenues

Allow me to draw a conclusion and make a pitch to us.

Turn on any form of digital media, go to a store, or drive on America’s roadways, and see voluminous expressions of evil.
Is it any wonder people are overwhelmed — absolutely — sick. of. it!
And then there is this Scripture verse.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I see two avenues.
Let us not succumb to evil and become participants in it.

Instead, let us combat it in this world by doing good—remember the Text: Yeshua went about doing good. (Acts 10:38)

Avenue 2: Let us not see the rampant evil, take to our beds, and pull the covers over our heads.

Instead, we can throw off those covers, don our armor (see Ephesians 6:13 -17), step into the shoes chosen for us by our Father, get out there, and do some good.
Shine some light on those groping in darkness.

One more word: did you notice the Text says we CAN overcome evil WITH good?

That’s my conclusion and my pitch.

This amazes me every time I read it. Peter was ASLEEP in prison, in chains, and who knows what else was happening below human dignity, but that dear Saint of GOD was asleep! He had certainly given all his cares to the Father.  Perhaps that is why he could pen for us in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast all our cares on Him, for He cares for us. 
There’s more to unpack in this verse. What do you see?
