Memorize and Reflect

“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:17)


Prayer Direction

Thank God for all He has given you… think long and hard about this! Ask for the power of the Holy Spirit to help you grow in deep and true contentment.


“Live It!” Challenge

Just So I Notice: Make a list of 25 gifts God has given you. Your list can include material things, people, experiences you have had, spiritual blessings, and anything for which you are thankful. Then, post this list where you will see it often. You might want to make it a screensaver or make extra copies to put other places you will see it. Then, each time you see this list, read a few items, give thanks, and be content!
