Covetousness, Content, and Continual Presence

Covetousness, Content, and Continual Presence

God Morning everyone! Welcome to the Spanduvilous Dailies with me, David Mitchell II, on this Tuesday February 16, 2010. Today our point of conversation is going to be covetousness, contentment, and continual presence. All of these points come from Hebrews 13:5 KJV and it reads, “Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” These are three very powerful yet simple principles points for everyday living that we should make sure we recognize, start, or continue. The first of these is covetousness. Covetousness means wanting someone else’s property. So basically if it’s not yours, don’t worry about it. Don’t worry about if someone else is in all designer clothes and you’re rotating and mixing and matching brands just to come up with a new outfit. There’s no need to even talk about it, because what we forget and fail to realize is that what God has for us is for us. Not someone else’s things. Which then brings us to our next point of being content. Content means to accept or make do with something. So after not worrying about what someone else has, then we are to appreciate and accept what we already have. Don’t devalue the things you have and have in you. They are just as or even more valuable than the thing that you were looking that the other person has. And the final point is continual presence. Now I’m sure you all know what continual means, but for those don’t, it means uninterrupted. So when Jesus says, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee” He is saying He will continually be in our presence answering our call and supplying our needs. He will be there even if we can’t see Him, feel Him or touch Him. Please read Hebrews 13:5 KJV

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
