Day 352. Why does God forbid coveting? (2024)

Today is day 352 and we are studying The Tenth Commandment. 352. Why does God forbid coveting? God forbids coveting because it breeds enmity with my neighbor, makes me captive to ungodly desire, and leads me into further sins. (Deuteronomy 7:25; Proverbs 12:12; Ephesians 5:5; James 4:2) We will conclude today by praying the Taw Stanza of Psalm 119 which is verses 169-176 found on page 439 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
