Preparation for A Every Season

3) Soon

Paul, the great first-century church-planter and letter-writer, wrote to followers of Jesus who were enduring a season of severe tribulation, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you” (Romans 16:20, NIV). That word, “soon,” was intended to give them comfort and hope in difficult circumstances. If you’re in a trying season, pray “soon” as often as you can. Pray it as a request (“soon, please”). Pray it as an affirmation (“soon, I believe”). Pray it as a reminder (“remember: soon”).
