Paul challenges us to meet hostility with benevolence, echoing Christ's redemptive work. Consider a situation or individual that triggers anger within you. How can you defy the cycle of retaliation with goodness and love?

Reflection Questions:

What obstacles keep you from trusting God's justice over your own anger?

Application:

Consciously practice overcoming evil with good today. Whether through praying for someone who has harmed you or making an active effort to reconcile, choose actions that promote peace and reflect God’s love.
