STRIVE TO CONTENT

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

Exodus 2

Gratification is satisfaction.
Satisfaction is with contentment.
Anyone with a fear of God is bound not to be a victim of evil.
Satisfaction and contentment operate by thanking God.
Satisfaction and contentment are the evidence of fear of God that should fuel a heart of thanksgiving to God.
Fear God to let Him enable you in all the days He has given you.
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)
Do you have a heart of thanking God?
Do you know why you are thankful to God? 
Why not desire to thank God as a way of life?
Give thanks to God from the depth of your heart because God does not overlook heartful thanks.  
One with contentment is with the heart of thanksgiving.
The contentment of Moses influenced the character, and he was noticeable for assignment for God. 
Exodus 2:21 records, “Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.”  
One with the spirit of the content does not struggle to readjust where destiny positions such to embrace.
Moses lived in the palace of Pharaoh for forty years and 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 the palace of Pharaoh to avoid persecution at the hands of Pharaoh. 
Moses ran from Pharaoh to end at the desert as the location for living.
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.
One with content will take a position provoking the move of the hand of God to gain 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 we can certainly 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 the spirit of satisfaction will have a way of life in your life.
