FAITH CAPSULE: A mouth-full thanks giving is not the same with a heart-full thanks giving.

Exodus 2

Gratitude is 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 mouth-full thanks giving is not the same with a heart-full thanks giving. With contentment is to know satisfaction and be able to give heart-full thanks to God. Without doubt, regardless of situation, giving thanks to God knows the fear of God. The book of Proverbs buttressed, “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, satisfaction is the evidence of fear of God that should always fuel heart-full thanks giving to God.
Do you know why you are thankful to God?
Are your thanks giving meaningful?
God cannot be deceived in all our character but let your thanks giving be a heart-full thanks giving at always.
For Moses, contentment can be considered as a major or main character in him that lined him up for a noticeable assignment for God. The bible recorded, “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 his brethren’s suffering. In his act of support for one of his brethren, he became a murder and had to flee from the palace because of Pharaoh’s attempt 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. Moses’ contentment is a considerable point that made him and he became agent in the hand of God for God’s assignment.
To be content is to be a provoker of the move of God’s hand for favor, guidance, deliverance, preservation and many more of God’s blessings. 1Timothy 6:6-7 buttressed, “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 to have come out of a palace and into a strange land with a testimony of being content had to have undoubtedly gained Heaven’s attention. Moses contentment 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 away from doing what was right when doing right demanded it. Moses had faith and God was pleased to use him for a great and noticeable assignment.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to be giving thanks in all things and for all things.
