Do not desire another man's house; do not desire his wife, his slaves, his cattles, his donkeys or anything else that he owns. - Exodus 20:17
We know the saying : 'God loves all things, creates all things'. If He is able to feed the sparrow, surely we are more worthy than the birds! However, God did not throw the food into the nest of the sparrows. The sparrows have to work in order to feed themselves!
We believe that there is nothing good in things that come free. Worst consequences if we should eye on things that do not belong to us. It is a sin even to have thoughts of having them. The only way we can escape this desire is to turn our attention to God and desire to serve Him. By our adoration in Jesus, we would lower our expectation and be small before Him. In confession of our weaknesses and sins, we would acknowledge that our past would not impede our future. In thanksgiving, we will be filled by His Holy Spirit to enable us to do the right things.
Times can be hard but be thankful for what we have. The future can only be better if we are humble, patient and be contented.
Godliness with contentment is great gain. - 1 Timothy 6:6
