Paul gives a final warning to the church to watch out for those who cause division. He warns of people who deceive naïve people. He wants the church at Rome to be wise about what is good and innocent about what is evil. We need God's wisdom daily to discern what is good or evil before God. May we depend on God in prayer every day.

Paul proclaims, "The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet." (20) No matter our hardship or difficulty, we have a sure promise that God will crush Satan soon. In fact, Jesus has already won the victory over our powerful enemy Satan. We still struggle with our problems, shortcomings, and weaknesses each day. But we believe God will soon crush Satan under our feet. We will win the complete victory in Christ in our daily lives!

Our sins linger in our hearts: lust, anger, difficulty forgiving and loving, worries, fears, unbelief, etc. God promises that he will soon crush Satan under our feet. Halleluia! May we continue to be renewed in Christ, bless others, and bring others Christ.

God has revealed Christ to us, so we all are able to come to the obedience that comes from faith. May we give glory to God who saved us from the bondage of sin through Jesus Christ.


Application: Father, thank you for loving us.
One Word: God will soon crush Satan under our feet!
