1 Chronicles 16:8-13
A young U.S. Marine in Vietnam, Scott Harrison found solace in a small music box he held to his ear to distract him from the horrors of war. He would close his eyes and think of a carousel. When he returned home, he learned that a famous carousel had lost all its animals. He spent 26 years carving more than fifty, one-of-a-kind animals, creating what is now called the Carousel of Happiness.²
The whole world is wanting to find a “carousel of happiness,” a way of distracting themselves from the rigors of life. Some people don’t like where they live. Others are unhappy with the clothes or food they have. We’re all apt to become discontent. But when you truly find Christ, you stop going around in circles. You learn that every good and perfect gift comes from Him.
Even with the imperfections around you, you can see His hand, feel His heart, know His touch, and enjoy His grace. Remind yourself today that the Lord wants you to be happy and to do good while you live.
TURNING POINT
To be well-skilled in the mystery of Christian contentment is the duty, glory and excellence of a Christian.
