Don't Covet

THOU SHALT NOT COVET
by Jeremy Burkes

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s house; thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor’s. Exodus 20:17

We all have neighbors. Some have more than others and some have less. We all try to keep up with the Jones’s. But what we don’t see is a lot of the times they are in debt up to their head to pay for it all. You ever see cows with their head sticking through the fence. They want the grass on the other side. We are a lot like that we want what our neighbor has, so we stick our neck through the fence. God provides us with the basics but we want more. Just like the cow that has grass under him we want what the next man has. Let go of what your neighbor has and focus on what God has provide for you.

God will provide for you according to your needs, not according to what your neighbor has.
