Inspiration for the Marriage you've always wantedSample excerpt:
The dictionary defines covetousness as "marked by inordinate desire for wealth or possessions or for another's possessions" Inordinate means "exceeding reasonable limits." So covetousness is basically an unreasonable desire for something you don't have but others may. Not a healthy state of mind.
The Bible does not say you should refrain from wanting a better life for yourself. Doing that would be as abnormal as coveting. What God's Word does say is that until you achieve your desires, you should be content with what you have and not waste time envying others. You can sit in front of the TV all day, coveting the newest and the best, or you can get out and earn what you want.
