Covetousness drives us to seek to take what does not belong to us, no matter the cost to other people. We need to be aware that God will not leave this sin unpunished, as the history of Ahab and Jezebel shows all too clearly.

Covetousness drives us to compete with others in a 'zero sum game' in which someone has to win and someone has to lose. That is not the life God has for us. This post looks at the life of Jacob to see why, and how we can avoid it.
