8th Commandment in perspective
8th Commandment--Thou shall not steal.
We think that stealing is when someone takes something from us that's ours. God says that ALL things belong to Him and if someone takes something from you to not get angry about it and leave that person for Him to deal with. He says that if they ask to give them even your coat.
ALL things belong to God and He's teaching us that love is more important than stuff. I don't CARE if we worked for a year to buy that thing. We need to stop placing so much importance on junk--then if it disappears we could care less.
If we throw a hissy fit over some lost junk then we have dishonoured how He taught us and the way He expects us to be. We are then breaking the 8th Commandment OURSELVES and stealing from Him--for we are not giving back with actions from the words and ways of His teachings.
Yeshua Bless You
