It's been said, rightly I think, that coveting is at the root of every other sin.
The idea is if your heart is set on another's possessions or position in life, you're then inclined to fall into all sorts of wrongdoing.
So coveting is like the first domino that gets a whole row of others falling down.
But there's another, usually overlooked way, that coveting does you harm.
It's this...
If you spend your time and energy dreaming about being in someone else's circumstances, you miss out on the good things God intends to do in your own.
It's as though coveting makes you blind to the blessings God has for you.
So instead of coveting, seek to be grateful and content instead. No matter what your situation.
As you do, God will open your eyes to the unique ways He has blessed you and the special ways He can use your life today.
