Romans 16:19-21 (NKJV) 19 For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
Be wise in what is good and simple concerning evil.
So much confusion has been created by the enemy. Many things that are evil are no longer recognized as such because people have bought the lies of the enemy.
Black is no longer black and white is no longer white. There are now so many shades of gray that people have trouble recognizing things for what they are.
But God never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And He has told us that if we stay wise in what is good and simple concerning evil, He will crush satan under our feet.
God wants to crush satan under our feet, but so many times we make it hard for Him to do so because of our choices. Because, so many times, we fail to recognize evil for what it is, we continue to open the door to it and let it waltz right into our lives over and over again.
Sometimes we might even use the excuse that “it’s not as bad as” such and such, and name off something that we feel is worse than what we happen to be doing.
As God’s children, followers of Christ, we need to let God show us what is evil and then we need not to argue with Him or try to justify the things that we do, just because we like to do them or because we don’t think it’s bad.
He shows us what’s right and what’s wrong and He does this to help us overcome evil in our lives, so we can live free and be victorious.
And I don’t know about you, but I personally like the idea of satan being crushed under my feet!
