N The Ten Commandments (the last
none Of which we study today are
:. characterized by their brevity, their
: comprehensive touch with all Of
life, and fidelity to the right But
c they are also unique and different
from all other laws in that they
reach into the inner rccesses of a
mans heart, realm where only
God can judge and act.
This last commandment against
covetousness) emphasizes that point,
for it does not expressly require or
forbid any act, but deals with the
motive Of mans action Man can
judge another mans acts, but he
cannot judge his motives, desires, or
thoughts. God must do that.
But man can, by the grace of God,
control his motives; and hence we
have this commandment and its in
depreciation.

i Because covctousncss DESTROYS the
best in life, we ought to shun it like
poison. The best antidote Cor curc)
if we have been poisoned by it is
to 90 about in our trust and con-
fidence in God.
We who are children of God are
to take no anxious thought for the
morrow. This does not forbid prop
err preparation and forethougbt, but
il does rule out fretful anxiety. The
reasons are very clear and cogent.
