Sent to the promised land.

Israel is in the wilderness. They are waiting to go into the promised land. Also, they are starting to lose trust in God. But they learned to have complete trust in God. my vision is of a trust fall because Israel had to learn to trust God. And for any person to do a trust fall they have to trust the person that is going to catch them. Trust in my life is Me trusting that God knows what he’s doing for me. Over the years I have learned to trust God. 

Theme 2 A savior 

God is at work in and around us. And Jesus is helping him restore it all. My visual is a cross because Jesus died on a cross for our sins so that we could go to heaven to live with God. It also lets me know that God will help me through all my hard times. As long as I believe in him. God will always save us no matter what and he loves us more than anyone else.

Theme 3

Slide to destruction

The Israelites were starting to stray away from God. The prophets were trying to get them back. And God taught them their lesson. For my visual, I chose a shepherd’s staff because even if we stray away God will always bring us back and love us. And knowing that no matter what I do God will love me the same is very reassuring. There were also lots of kings that strayed away from God.

Theme 4 

Conflict and doubt 

The Israelites were starting to doubt God. They were seeking answers too. My visual is the bible. Because the bible has the answers to almost all our questions to God. And the bible tells us that it is okay to wrestle with God and to have questions about your faith. And so I can know that I can ask questions to God. 

Theme 5

slavery/salvation

There is a lot of struggle in the Israelites while they are slaves in Egypt. God comes and gives them salvation. I also did a cross for this visual because it goes perfect with the theme of this. The cross is our salvation like the one saying “our salvation is in the cross.”And we were in slavery until Jesus came and saved us out of slavery. Knowing that Jesus saved us I can live knowing that I am saved as long as I believe in God. 

Theme 6

Symbol of a lamp

Israel was broken and God came and restored all the brokenness to good. I know that God has faith in us and God is always with me. And he will never let me go no matter what I do. My Visual is there is a tree on my river that my cabin is on. It is an old dead tree that fell down but several new good trees formed on it and they are full of life. Witch is like taking what is broken and making new from it.

Theme 7

Names 

All the names in the old testaments have meanings. Especially God’s different names witch are. Yahweh meaning the nice loving God. The Great I am witch means the great powerful creator God. my visual for this is the mountains. Because it shows the mighty powerful God that created the massive mountains but the loving God that put every little detail in. God shows me those two different things of him through him giving me grace but also defeating the devil for me so that I can go to heaven.   

Theme 8

Call

We experience God’s call through lots of things. Like Abraham did when God called him to leave to a new nation. When I reflected on this I put this on my paper. God always calls us to do stuff for him and we should do it. Even if it will make us look foolish or silly God calls us so we should follow him. My visual is of Jonah and the whale God called Jonah to go Ninevah and he did not and look what happened so we should all follow God’s call even if we don’t want to.
