Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbour’s house; you shall not covet your neighbour’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbour’s.”
How many times have you looked at another house and wished you had a house like that? Is it so wrong to wish for a better house?
We need to be able to control our desires so we do not turn our backs on God or our friends just to get those desires fulfilled!
God does not want us to focus on the things of this world. He would rather we focus on the things of heaven where we know nothing on this earth will be able to compare with it.
We may not have oxen, donkeys or servants, but we sure do have enough electronic gadgets to distract our desires! Be careful out there.
