Running Through Museums … And Life

Museums are supposed be a calm and peaceful place where great works of art are displayed for the public to enjoy. But most people visit museums with a theme-park mentality—to keep moving and see as many things as possible. Not wanting to miss any of the famous pieces, they rush from room to room with only a quick glance for historic, even iconic objects of art.

Possible Preaching Angle:

In short, they treat museums a lot like most of us treat our lives. But what if we slowed down? What if we savored living in God's world instead of trying to check everything off our bucket list? How much more would we see God in the beauty around us?
