Mindset #9: Watch out for Covetousness
Covetousness is an inordinate desire to possess; or to desire something that belongs to someone else.
The bible says this attitude is sinful:
Exodus 20:
17 "You must not want to take your neighbor's house. You must not want his wife or his male or female slaves, or his ox or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
The Holy Bible, New Century Version
1 Timothy 6:
10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
The Holy Bible, New Internatioonal Version
Ask the Lord to help you develop a contented heart and attitude.
