More!
Think about the word "more." What drives us to always want more? Is "more" bad? What is the "more" in your heart? What is driving you?
“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or male or female slave, or ox, or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
Exodus 20:17
Covetousness leads to a multitude of other sins and comes up in several lists of sins in the New Testament. Sometimes we don't want things until we compare ourselves with what others have. Coveting makes us miserable- it's a recipe for a bitter and angry life. It divides us from other people. Coveting is corrosive to gratitude.
We have so many luxuries. We live in the wealthiest nation in history and yet- are we happy?
We can combat covetousness with gratitude and with wonder.
Action step: Replace greed and lust with gratitude and faith in Jesus. [Philippians 4:11-13]
We need MORE of Jesus.
