In our weekend services this past weekend, our College Pastor Jason Denison spoke on Soul Happiness, for our series Soul Care. His message looked at how we can find happiness in fearing God. It was great - in fact, perhaps one of his best messages. Jason looked at Psalm 34, and I was charged with creating a video element that presented the Psalm.
Luckily, Sigur Rós released 50 clips from their new film Heima for a special contest. So, inspired by the beauty of their homeland, I used Sigur Rós’ footage to create the meditation on Psalm 34.
Following the video, Jason commented on how beautiful Iceland is. He mentioned that it is strange that such a volatile land - where volcanic eruptions create vast mountains and shifting tectonic plates create unbelievable canyons and plateaus - is so beautiful. He continued, saying (paraphrase): “…it is amazing that beauty can be produced by such chaos…kind of like us.”
I just loved this observation. Think about beauty coming from the chaotic story of your own life - out of ashes, splendor.
