DO NOT COVET!
Luke 12:15 – Devotional
Luke 12:15
“And He said unto them, ‘Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses.’”
It is interesting to observe how people (including ourselves) are pretty content with what we possess until we see someone obtain something better. We can have joy over something trivial until someone has a trivial thing that is better. RIGHT!
Lack of contentment was displayed in the Garden of Eden when the serpent enticed Adam and Eve that there was better and God was unjust in not giving them that something better. In essence they were coveting God!
What thing or things around you are you coveting? Do you lack a spirit of contentment with what God has blessed you with? The carnal people of the world are always looking for the next best thing but seldom find contentment.
Jesus is always our answer! When we seek more of His presence in our life the less we will be drawn to things of the world. I think of the words of that song we used to sing; “Take the whole word, but give me Jesus!” DO NOT COVET!
Blessings dear heart! Walk with God today and be a blessing!
