DEVOTIONAL
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. What does this mean? We should fear and love God so that we do not scheme to get our neighbor’s inheritance or house, or get it in a way which only appears right, but help and be of service to him in keeping it. (The Small Catechism, Ninth Commandment) 
Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Luther’s Small Catechism tells us that God has given us everything that we have. He’s given you your body, soul, eyes, ears, and all your members. He’s given you clothing, shoes, food, drink, house, home, land, animals, and all that you have. (Meaning of the First Article of the Creed) What you have, God has given you. What your neighbor has, God has given to him or her.
Taking what isn’t yours is called “stealing.” Everyone knows this! Most of us wouldn’t crassly steal our neighbor’s stuff. Instead, we get it in a way that appears right. We borrow but don’t return, we don’t treat the possessions of others with respect, we steal time by not doing what we are told to do.
God doesn’t stop there! It’s not enough to not take your neighbor’s stuff. God doesn’t want you to even think about how to get their property and possessions! This is called “coveting” and can get you thrown in hell just as fast as stealing other people’s things.
What God has given to your neighbor is their gift from Him. You shouldn’t take it. You shouldn’t think about it. Don’t make comparisons, judging God for who He likes more. He’s given each person what He has given to them. He’s a good God. And you trust Him.
That makes this a great commandment to learn the day after Ash Wednesday! Your Lord Jesus shows you why you don’t have to want anything that is not given to you: God has given His Son for you. He didn’t hold anything back. He didn’t slight you. He didn’t give someone else a bigger piece of the God-loves-you cake. No, He gave His Son for you. Believing in Him, you are saved.
You have no need for the things that aren’t given to you. God gives and gives and gives. There are always more of His gifts in Him. If you need, He will provide. You don’t have to covet or want anything else!
If you could just believe this, if you could just keep this commandment, Luther says you could keep them all. Your heart longs for what it isn’t given because it doesn’t believe that God is going to be good to you. But look at what He has given you! He has given you everything you have! Best of all, He gave His Son to save you. Merry Lent! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. –Rev. George Borghardt
