Kelly - Micah 2

Coveting leads to problems. It's easy to read this chapter and think of "them." "They" have big houses. "They" go out to eat all the time. "They" can afford to buy more than 1 pair of jeans at a time.

But the truth is I have it pretty darn good. My children don't have everything they want, but they have everything they need and plenty of privileges. And I'm certainly just as guilty of coveting more as the kiddos are. There are days when I could write a really really really long letter to Santa (worst tradition ever - institutionalized coveting at a time when we're supposed to focus on giving).

God does not like coveting. A commandment against it. And multiple warnings here from Micah.
