I was watching a few videos on youtube and I love this video by Sigur Ros (Glosoli is the song). The video itself is so beautiful and moving. I then stumbled across a video someone had made. All they had done was add scripture to the music video behind it. It gave the video a new meaning entirely. As the video neared the end I began to weep. I haven't read my Bible in months and the beauty of scripture hit me in the gut.
It's amazing that someone made that video because immediately I ran to get my Bible and opened it. I wanted to read Isaiah and stumbled on Chapter 40. I began reading the words out loud so I could listen to the word of God. Snippets from Isaiah 40 were in the end of the video (the most moving part), but I didn't make the connection until I got to the end:
Verse 31: but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
At this point I am crying and stammering as I try to read the words out loud.
I haven't been to a church since May or something like that. I've made the excuse that I've been tired or that I have work. It's no excuse. I need God. It is so apparent that God is something I cannot live without. I was going to read more of my current novel tonight, but I can't not read my Bible now.
I'm going to church tomorrow. I have to go. I want to hear a teacher.
I don't think I clearly articulated everything I felt about the way God ministered to me tonight, but it's basically this: God used that video to get my attention and show me the beauty in his word. He then connected the same scripture used in the video to the chapter I happened to read when I randomly opened my Bible. He made it so apparent that I need him.
I can't put into words the things I feel about this.
This is the video. Maybe it'll help people understand why I was so moved, especially by the verses in Isaiah.
