The 10 Commandments: Devotions From Time of GraceNäide

God’s seventh law
The right to personal property is one of the most foundational building blocks of any sane and rational society. If people are not allowed to buy and own things, like horses, land, farm equipment, and a home, they lose any incentive for working. Why work and save to buy stuff that anybody wants to take? What business could survive for a week without guarantees of property ownership?
God carved into Moses’ tablets an elegantly simple property law: “You shall not steal” (Exodus 20:15). I doubt if there are very many adults alive today who have not experienced the pain of theft or personal robbery. Next to the power of lust, Satan finds the human weakness of greed easily exploitable. It takes no stroke of genius to predict that stealing will be a feature of life on earth till Christ returns.
But God’s people must have none of it. “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, ‘Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you’” (Hebrews 13:5). In this crooked age, honesty is a prized trait--in politics, in business, and in the church. Your personal honesty will be noted and valued. We honor our God not only by not stealing but by being appreciative of all the possessions he has generously given us and choosing to be content.
Say it with me: “Lord, if I have you, I have all I need.”

God gave Moses the 10 Commandments long ago, yet God says they still apply to you today.
