Notes on Hope Devotional

Imagine

by JoDee Luna

Revelation 19:14 states: “The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses.”

The historical significance of this scripture is compelling. In ancient Rome, victorious generals would celebrate their triumphs with a grand procession, leading their armies on horseback through the city. The white horse symbolized victory, power, and divine favor. Unlike the captives who followed in chains, the victorious warriors rode freely, honoring their leader.

This verse reminds us that as believers, we are not captives but participants in the victory of Christ. Women, too, are part of this procession—riding with strength, dignity, and purpose. Imagine captures this victorious journey, inviting women to embrace their divine calling rather than wait for external validation.

The Visual Story of Imagine

In this painting, a resolute woman sits astride a powerful white horse, her gaze fixed on the horizon. Clad in flowing garments reminiscent of pure white linen, she rides with strength and grace, embodying a spirit of unwavering faith. The ethereal background suggests a heavenly expanse, evoking the triumph of those who trust in their divine purpose. Through the interplay of light and texture, the painting captures the essence of resilience and divine empowerment. Imagine is an oil on canvas dedicated to women who are not waiting for a Prince Charming to rescue them.  Women whose faith and courage make them bold and beautiful. Women who believe and pursue their God-given calling.
