When our wants start exceeding our needs, we have to be careful to see if we are in the flesh or in the Spirit. It’s ok to have things as long as things don’t have you.
The curse of coveting reveals our dissatisfaction with God’s Provision.
Don’t seek greater things at the risk of losing your soul in those things.
Worrying and being anxious are signs of our hearts being aligned towards things rather then the Lord.
God wants us to strongly desire the Kingdom first and He will give it to us along with all that we need!
We should by comparison hate covetousness and anything that comes against a strong desire to serve the Lord.
Love others as Jesus has loved you. Show grace to others as Jesus has shown grace to you. Build others up in Christ as His Spirit has built you up in Christ.
