Coveting

The last of the commands are on coveting. Though they are learned as two I will include both here.
Ex.20:17 You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.

What is coveting? Coveting is having a sinful desire for anyone or anything that belongs to someone else (your neighbor). God forbids us to try to get anything from anyone openly or by trickery.

Gen.3:6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.
James 1:14-15 Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full grown, gives birth to death.
Rom.7:8 Sin..produced in me every kind of covetous desire.
Matt.15:19 Out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander.
Micah 2:1-2 Woe to those who plan iniquity...They covet fields and seize them, and houses, and take them. They defraud a man of his home, a fellowman of his inheritance.
1Tim.6:8-10 If we have food and clothing, we will be content with that . People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Luke 12:15 He said to them, "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kind of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions."
Col.3:5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.

God always gives us the answers to what we can do to keep each and every one of His Commands. So what can we do to keep from being coveteous of other people and their possessions?

Phil.4:11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.
1Tim.6:6 Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Heb.13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
Phil.2:4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Ps.37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of you heart.
Ps.119:35-36 Direct me in the path of Your commands, for there I find delight. Turn my heart toward Your statutes and not toward selfish gain.
Phil.4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excelent or praise worthy- think about such things.
