Victory over the darkness
The following symbols are a reminder of God's desires and ability to have
victory over the darkness in our lives! He is the Resurrection and the Life!
He is the Overcomer! And He is the Overcomer in and through us as we trust
in Him and believe in and stand on His promises! The rainbow reminds us of
God's promises and His ability to bring them to pass after the worst storm
and catastrophe in history. The light bulb represents the Light of the World
and how even a tiny match brings light to a whole black room - though darkness
cannot penetrate the light! His Light can SUDDENLY change a totally dark situation
into one of light and warmth and growth! The middle figure with the person
coming to life in the coffin symbolizes the Scriptural theme that God loves
to raise to life situations and people that have been dead…ie. Lazaras
was dead for 3 or 4 days before Jesus raised him to life! - that was about
as dead as you can get! We see this theme of Christ bringing Life into dead-looking
situations over and over! May it encourage us that He longs to do this for
us, too, and IS ABLE!
The other figures symbolize Joshua and Caleb 'spying out the land' of Canaan
and coming back with a GOOD REPORT and confidence in the Lord's ability to
have victory over the cities there EVEN THOUGH many with them came back with
BAD REPORTS about the supposed 'giants in the land' which they perceived due
to fears and the lies of the enemy to try to discourage them from entering
the land God had PROMISED them! Let us not get discouraged but be STRONG AND
COURAGEOUS in our own lives as well as we continue to trust the Lord to DO
THE IMPOSSIBLE and have victory over the darkness in our lives, families,
churches and in the land/s, etc. as we TRUST IN HIM and keep taking steps
to cooperate with Him to be Overcomers with Him!
