Don't covet

The last commandment is simple. Don't covet,all the verbiage is to close any loophole rules lawyers might exploit. But it's also different from all the others.

The first four commandments are to tell us how to relate to God. The next five tell how to relate to each other. The last is internal.

Coveting is just wanting something you don't have. Since everything we have comes from God, coveting means, at its heart, we don't trust God to give us things.

Unfortunately, our entire culture is built on covetousness. Especially the time of year, everyone wants more. The best way to not covet is just to be happy with what you have.
