God's Words of Wisdom

"Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for 21 December 2012, from Cindi, a Daughter of the Kings of kings and Lord of lords."

Today's Bible Verse: Commandment Number 10 of God's Ten Commandments

Commandment Number 10: Exodus 20:17 "You shall not covet your neighbors house; you shall not covet your neighbors wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, or his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbors."

The word covet means "to have a strong desire for."  Coveting is not merely an application of something from a distance, but a uncontrolled, inordinate, selfish desire.  This Tenth Command
governed an internal matter: for the sin of coveting occurred in the mind.    

This demonstrated that God intended the Israelites not only to avoid the actions named in the previous commands, but also to turn away from the evil thoughts that led to these actions.  To want something which God has chosen to give to another, reveals a failure to give God priority in our lives.

Have a God Filled and Spirit Led Day. Go in Peace and Serve the Lord our God with Gladness.
Love God More Today.  Always remember that when you have a spiritual, emotional, relational, physical, or financial dilemma in your life, and you yell out, "I CAN'T," GOD Whispers to you, "BUT I CAN."

Your Sister in Christ,
Cindi
