“Thou shalt not steal.” Exodus 20:15
Stealing is not simply a case of taking what someone else owns. It is taking into your own hands the opportunity to get what God has not said you could have. In essence, you are saying that God does not understand what you need so you have to go get it yourself.
We steal when we do not trust God to provide for our needs. We steal because our relationship with God is lacking trust. If we knew God and how much He loves us, we would never steal. We would rest on His love and promises. Stealing is wrong because we are putting ourselves in God’s role. We are saying that we can do a better job then God.
