Ex. 20:17
Thou shall 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.
THOU SHALT NOT COVET: Coveting involves the desire or lust for all that is wrong or belongs to another person.
Paul claims this commandment reveals the depth of human sinfulness, Rom. 7:7—13. This law, as well as the others, exposes the depravity of men and women and calls for them to seek grace and moral power from God.
Focus on the blessings God gives you, not those of your neighbors. Trust and believe your gift has your name on it, God does not make mistakes.
“Mr. Smith brought his family, a new house. Here’s what you should say, hooray for the Smiths!”
Envy, it does not look good on you!
Blessings,
Presiding Elder Barbara Hayes
