A bold and triumphant portrayal of divine victory, this artwork features a majestic lion symbolizing the authority and power of God. With its expressive gaze fixed heavenward, the lion roars in triumph, its vibrant mane ablaze with colors of glory—gold, crimson, and royal blue. The energy of the scene is palpable as one mighty paw stomps the ground with force, causing water to splash upward in a dramatic burst.
Inspired by Romans 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet,” the composition captures the moment of ultimate victory over evil. The lion’s stance reflects unshakable confidence in the power of God to bring peace through His righteous judgment. The water splashing upward symbolizes the ripple effect of this divine triumph, cleansing and renewing all it touches.
This artwork is a celebration of the promise that God’s peace and authority will prevail, encouraging viewers to stand firm in faith and trust in His ultimate victory over every force of darkness.
Scripture: “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.” — Romans 16:20
Devotion:
Victory is not only a promise for the distant future—it is a reality we walk in today because of Jesus. Romans 16:20 reminds us that God’s power is at work, defeating the forces of darkness and establishing His peace. The imagery of Satan crushed underfoot is a powerful reminder that evil cannot prevail against the authority of God.
Notice how this victory comes through the God of peace. His triumph isn’t chaotic or vengeful; it’s rooted in His perfect peace, bringing restoration and order. As followers of Christ, we are invited to stand in this victory, trusting that His grace is sufficient for every battle.
When challenges arise, we can stomp our feet in faith, declaring the truth that God’s peace will crush anything that opposes His purpose in our lives. Let this promise inspire you to live boldly, knowing that His grace empowers you to overcome.
