BEWARE OF WHAT YOU WANT
READ:
Exodus 20:1-17
You shall not covet. -Exodus 20:17
Sometimes I wonder why God didn't list the Ten CommandÂments in reverse order,
since the 10th commandment correlates to the first sin-desire. Eve's sin wasn't
simply her desire for a piece of fruit; it was the desire for knowledge that
Satan told her would make her like God (Gen. 3:5). Eve's covetousness caused
her to violate both the first and tenth commands that God later gave to Moses.
When we don't covet, we pretty much eliminate our reasons to disÂobey the other
commands. Wanting what isn't ours causes us to lie, steal, commit adultery,
murder, and refuse to honor our parents. We refuse to rest because we can't get
what we want in 6 days of work. We misuse God's name when we use it to justify
something that we want to do. We make gods out of wealth and relationships
because we don't want to have to put all our trust in God. I have a hard time
coming up with sins that don't involve some form of covetousness. Yet because
it's the last in the list, we tend to think of it as being the least important.
But it's not. When we stop sin while it is still in our hearts and heads, we
avoid making others the victim of our sin, and we avoid many of the serious
consequences of sin.
When you covet someone else's things, thinking that they're better than your
own, just remember that God's gifts to you were designed for you and you alone.
Contentment is realizing that God has already given me all I need.
