\\u201cYou shall not covet\\u201d (Exodus 20:17). While it can be clear whether someone has murdered or stolen that which is not theirs, the prohibition against covetousness is harder to observe. We must guard our hearts against desiring that which is others\\u2019, for the failure to do so can cause us to act in ways unbecoming for the follower of Christ. As his children, we trust that he provides, and we should not covet that which he has given others.
