The 10th Commandment: “You Shall Not Covet”
There is nothing wrong with having desires. But how often do we long for things that are not ours to have? The Tenth Commandment prompts us to examine if there are any hidden sins in our heart. For God desires both outward and inward obedience. In particular, the Bible warns us of the sin of covetousness. How is this sin dangerous and how can we slay it? Have covetousness affected your relationship with God? Do you delight in God and what He has given you? Or do you have an unhealthy longing for certain things?

And these truths are magnified by the wondrous works and promises of Christ. So let us not look anywhere else, but fix our eyes on God to restore our praise, so that our delight in Him may be complete.
