Little Matters Affecting Us.....
And yes God first
Perhaps we are too familiar with these lines, when we were little we even said them in a sing-song way. It is THE 10TH COMMMANDMENT. usually this commandment is taken quite lightly by christians, some feel God maybe wanted to complete the commandments(right?) , we wonder why we would want our neighbour's stuff, we forget that he is GOD, infallible, never making a mistake. it wasn't until this evening that i understood the source of our problems in life; COVETOUSNESS, to COVET means to desire earnestly almost to the point of ENVY,its the reason why you wanted the denim jacket you saw on your friend and stole money to buy it, the reason why Paul sleeps with John's wife, it is the reason why the extra piece of meat is taken,it is also why you envy and backbite.. Let us take a pause; realise at this instant that the 10TH COMMANDMENT is everything, when we break it, it could lead to commiting any of the previous 9 COMMANDMENTS. God knows what we need, he gives us the needed tools to acquire that which is meant for you, the 10TH COMMANDMENT says it all, admire the good things in life but do not wish to have what is for the next person, as our faces are different, SO IS OUR PURPOSE. Do not be anyone else but yourself..
