Exodus 20: 1-2,17 You shall not covet your neighbor's house;

Exodus 20:1-2, 17 And God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. ... You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."

Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Time to remind myself, Lord, that covetousness is dissatisfaction with Your provision coupled with self. It is always a matter of my wanting what You gave my neighbor because I am more deserving that he. If I am truly and completely thankful for the way You have met my needs, it is impossible to be covetous.
