FAITH CAPSULE: One with contentment is with the heart of thanksgiving.

Exodus 2

Gratitude is the feeling of being grateful or thankful. 
Gratitude is the identity of one with contentment.
Are you grateful or thankful to God in your situation? 
A mouthful of thanksgiving is not the same as a heart full of thanksgiving. 
With contentment is to know satisfaction giving heart-full thanks to God. Without a doubt, regardless of the situation, giving thanks to God knows the fear of God. 
The book of Proverbs buttresses, “The fear of the Lord leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.” (Proverbs 19:23)
Contentment and satisfaction are the evidence of fear of God that should fuel a heart full of thanksgiving to God.
Do you know why you are thankful to God? 
Is your thanksgiving meaningful?
God cannot be deceived, in all character but let your thanksgiving be heart-full thanksgiving always.  
One with contentment is with the heart of thanksgiving.
The contentment of Moses influenced the character that positioned him to be noticeable for assignment for God. 
The Bible records, “Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.” (Exodus 2:21) 
Moses, having lived in the palace of Pharaoh for forty years, ended up in Midian, a strange land. 
Moses refused to get carried away by the exuberant palace life and could not ignore the suffering of his brethren.
Moses, by his act of support for one of his brethren, became a murderer. He had to flee from the palace because of the attempt of Pharaoh to persecute him. 
Moses was content to live in the desert with Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, a strange land. 
There was no evidence or demonstration of bitterness or complaint with his new family in the land. 
The contentment of Moses is what made him become an agent in the hand of God for the assignment for his life.
To be content is to be a provoker of the move of the hand of God for a favor, guidance, deliverance, preservation, and many more blessings of God. 
1 Timothy 6:6-7 buttresses, “Now godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.” 
For Moses, coming out of a palace and into a strange land with a testimony of being content, he undoubtedly gained the attention of Heaven. 
The contentment of Moses speaks a great deal of his character. 
His action demonstrated that he brought nothing to this world, and no material wealth could have kept him from doing what was right when to do right is demanded. 
Moses had faith, and God was pleased to use him for noticeable assignments. 

Prayer for today: Ask God that giving thanks in all things and for all things shall become your way of life.
