10 Commandments and Ice Cream
Just another way to understand part of the meaning of one of the Ten Commandments.
Ten Commandments
You shall have no other gods before Me
You shall make no idols
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain
Keep the Sabbath day holy
Honor your father and mother
You shall not murder
You shall not commit adultery
You shall not steal
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
You shall not covet
The last of the list in fact. Not in the least unimportant but often difficult to fully grasp. Wanting or needing things others have is human nature. To covet is much deeper than want. Dictionary.com offers the definition of covet as to desire wrongfully, inordinately, or without due regard for the rights of others.
Without regard ... let that sink in for a minute. Sometimes when we want too intensely, the whole emotion can turn to this definition of covet. It is a fairly ugly depiction that we might wish to never emulate. And besides, didn't you really want that ice cream?
