       Well, obviously if we are coveting something, we want it too much, and on top of that, we are wanting something that we don’t have a right to have. It’s not a proper way to go about getting something. And since it’s covetousness, in James’ example we don’t get what we want. What’s sad, is all we had to do was give up the desire for whatever it is we wanted. In this case, if we want something that is not rightfully ours to have (assuming we haven’t realized this fact), an alternative would manifest itself. The American way is one of hard work, struggle, and even sacrifice. This is sometimes referred to as the Protestant Work Ethic. However, this is not, I repeat, this is not the way God operates. God is a giver, and he gives us what we want when are attitudes are right. Yes, you heard that right. It’s that simple. He gives us what we want, when our attitudes are right.
