Food for Thought

​What does covetous practice mean?
 
The Lord often spoke through His prophets warning us not to operate in covetous practices. To covet something means to desire something strongly. When the Lord stated that many would be chastened because of covetousness, He spoke of those in the household of faith who consistently seek after improper desires of the flesh and who are not seeking after pleasing the true and living God. He wants our desires to be pleasing in His sight to build up the kingdom of Christ. He wants us to have nice tings but not to consume and want and desire for the sake of building our own kingdom.. Love doesn’t seek her own.
I Cor 13:4-5
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh not evil;
I Cor 12:31
But covet earnestly the best gifts; and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.
I Cor 14:1
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
And this we know that Christ is the prophesy and the love and through him we will know the way and our desires will become more in sync with the Holy Spirit as we continue to decrease and seek after the Lord with our whole heart and allow Him to order our steps.
