“And The God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly” Romans 16:20
This promise follows well upon that yesterday. We are evidently to be conformed to our covenant Head, not only in His being bruised in His heel but in His conquest of the evil one. The Romans believers were grieved with strife in the church; but their God was “the God of peace.” The archenemy tripped up the feet of the unwary and deceived the hearts of the simple; but he was to get the worst of it and to be trodden down those whom he had troubled.
This victory would not come to the people; but God Himself would bruise Satan. Though it would be under their feet, yet the bruising would be of the LORD alone. In unquestioning confidence in God let us look for speedy victory. Let us by faith in Jesus tread the tempter down.”
