Exodus 20:17

“ . . .desire isn’t evil because it’s strong. Desire becomes evil when it’s fixed on the wrong things.” - James Leithart

Coveting: The person with an inordinate, excessive desire to possess what belongs to someone else. The unhealthy, ungodly lust, or selfish motive to gain something God has not given.

“Covetousness hides in the heart. The Ten Words progress from “Don’t do it” to “Don’t say it” to “Don’t even think about it.” - Jen Wilkin, Ten Words To Live By

Contentment: The mental acceptance and internal satisfaction with one’s possessions, status, and conditions allotted by God without a demand for change in the external circumstances.

LEARNING CONTENTMENT INCLUDES:

• The commitment to keep God and Christ Jesus first in my life.

• Believing it is a skill to be developed and exercised.

• My trusting God’s will, direction, and timing for everything.

• Acknowledging God is more than enough.
