DAY 10
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.
....declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and write them
on their hearts,
and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Exodus 20:16/2 Corinthians 3:3
And he said unto them,
Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a
man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which
he possesseth.
What shall we say then? 
Q: Is the law sin?
A: God forbid.
Nay, I had not known sin,
but by the law:
for I had not known lust,
except the law had said,
Thou shalt
not covet.
Luke 12:15/Romans 7:7
DAILY REMINDER
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, 
and have not LOVE, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of
prophecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and though I
have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
and have not LOVE,
I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not LOVE, it profiteth me nothing.LOVE suffereth long, and
is kind;
LOVE envieth not;
LOVE vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up,
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own,
is not
easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
And now abideth faith, hope, LOVE, these three;
but the greatest of these is LOVE.
And from Jesus Christ, ....Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his own blood,...
1 Corinthians 13:1-5,13/Revelation 1:5
"The deadly sin that led to Achan's ruin
had its roots in covetousness, of all sins one of the most common and
the most lightly regarded.
While other offences meet with detection and
punishment, how rarely does the 10th commandment so much as call forth
censure. Covetousness is an evil of gradual development."
Patriarchs & Prophets p.496 E.G.W.
Closing Thought for the Day
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat,....For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life,
is not of the Father, but is of the world.
Genesis 3:6/1 John 2:16
