on perspective…

November 21, 2007 by Joel Miller.

i’m currently sitting in the beach condo belonging to my roommate’s parents. it’s a nice place (a luxury style 2,200 SF 3BR 3 BA condo with 4 flat screen TV’s and a panoramic ocean view). and it’s funny, because I have come across a striking comparison while I sit here. inside, there are leather couches and 61” televisions, crown molding and faux-finished walls, slate tile and granite counters; it’s all very tastefully designed.

on the balcony, there is a small table and four chairs…that, and the atlantic ocean along daytona beach shores.

on the inside, there’s man’s design. and it is VERY well designed. luxury at its best, honestly. on the outside, there’s God’s design. simplicity at its finest.

do i have to tell you whether i’m in the living room facing the TV or on the balcony, watching the waves?

They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.” Psalm 19:1-4 (NLT)
