Unhealthy desires

Do not crave your neighbor’s house, field, male or female servant, ox, donkey, or anything else that belongs to your neighbor. ~ Deuteronomy 5:21 (CEB)

Then Jesus said to them, “Watch out! Guard yourself against all kinds of greed. After all, one’s life isn’t determined by one’s possessions, even when someone is very wealthy.” ~ Luke 12:15 (CEB)

KEY IDEA:
Greed will destroy your life.
PRAYER:
Lord, I thank you for providing everything that I need. I don't know why it is that in spite of your generosity I still pursue more -- sometimes even things which are harmful to me and others. I am in need of your intervention to calm my desires for that which is unhealthy. I'm going to trust you to get involved. Amen.
