Do not Covet
May 10th 2009 02:03
The tenth commandment is Thou Shall not Covet. But what does this mean? Covet is to want something that belongs to another. This means that you should be content in what you have. The bible gives examples of your neighbor’s donkey and such, but if you modernize it that would include your neighbors new boat, car, etc. The only thing we should desire after is God’s will.
God will give to you according to His will. He knows the desires of your heart. Pray for the things you need and He will provide. The more we want or “covet” the more we will not find satisfaction. Some people desire what they can’t have… everyone has done it. But if you keep looking for what you want then you’ll never be satisfied in what you have.

But Godless with contentment is great gain.
