The only chance for evil to win over good is if good gives up. Put that in your heart. Perhaps, like me and all those who are good, you feel discouraged and think: “What’s the use of doing good? Evil people seem to prosper and are always in a position of advantage. What’s the use of doing good to me if those who do evil seem to get away with it?”

The Bible talks a lot about it. I wanted to share with you some thoughts on this issue. You are not the first to think like this. Pay attention:

“Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21)

In other words: for evil to win, you have to allow it. Those who suffer from evil are tempted to fight with the same evil weapons. Evil people use deception and injustice because they do not respect any rule. You will pass to the losers’ side if you do evil with evil. The Word teaches us to keep doing good if we want to overcome evil.

“Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him” (Ecclesiastes 8:12).

I mean, the sinner does evil several times, and it seems like he’s doing well. Some people even lose faith because of that. “If God exists, He has forgotten about us.” Many lose faith because of this false conclusion. But Solomon says that it will be well with those who fear God. You have to look at the final score. When you see two football teams playing, the score is the most important, and whoever laughs last is the real winner.

So, keep this word with you: what counts is that you don’t give up doing good. Don’t do good by waiting for recognition, do good because it’s right, for God’s sake.

“For it is better, if it is for the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil” (1 Peter 3:17).

It’s better to have a temporary loss than an irreparable damage. Renew your strength by walking the path of good. Remember that what matters is the score at the end of the game.
