Can't Get No Satisfaction
"If any commandment should be able to convince you that they came from God Himself, it ought to be this one, because who else would have thought this one up? Somebody has called the tenth commandment "the unenforceable commandment." Think about it. You could be breaking this commandment right now and nobody would ever know it. You could make coveting a felony and nobody would ever be arrested, because how could you prove it?
"This is why this is the most unusual of all the commandments. The other nine commandments deal with actions. This one deals with attitude. The others deal with a deed. This deals with a desire. You can see the sins of the other commandment on the outside. This sin can only be seen on the inside.
"What is so unusual about this commandment that makes it different from all the others is that it goes straight to the heart. God gave this commandment to let us know that He requires not only outward obedience, but inward obedience.
"The Hebrew word for covet means "desire" or "to pant after." There is nothing wrong in and of itself with desire and I want to make that very plain. There is nothing wrong with ambition. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be successful; with wanting to have nice things, with wanting to provide for your family, with wanting to be your very best. The problem with coveting, however, is when you become dissatisfied with what you have and you become jealous of what others have and you want what they have whether God wants you to have it or not.
