The last two commandments about coveting are an important reminder that it\u2019s not just our actions that God governs, but even our very thoughts...and this can be a really tough subject for us! Who hasn\u2019t looked at a friend\u2019s car and thought to themselves \u201cI wish I had a car like that!\u201d Who hasn\u2019t seen a friend\u2019s house and said \u201cI wish we had the money for a home like that!\u201d We do this all the time...coveting all sorts of things...and it can get us into trouble. We begin to covet our friend\u2019s money. We move further into coveting their husband or their wife. We can even begin to covet their very life and everything about it. And God reminds us today that \u201ccovet\u201d isn\u2019t the word for us...instead, the word for us is \u201ccontentment\u201d. Jesus calls us to be thankful for what He has given us and by the power of His Holy Spirit, to choose \u201cContentment Over Coveting\u201d every single day.
