Beware of covetousness

“Is it right he should get so much, is it right? It is downright unfair” Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me." Lk 12:13(ESV) 

What’s bothering you; don’t you have your own share of the property? Be content.

“That’s how you people deceive us... “Be content”. Meanwhile daylight robbery is taking place. There are two of us. Equity demands I get 50%.”

Stop being covetous; be satisfied with what you have. Even the blood flow is not equally distributed to all parts. Equity need not be equality. But he said to him, "Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?"And he said to them, "Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." Lk 12:14-15 (ESV) 

“I see you throw about scriptures just to satisfy your viewpoint. I see nothing covetous about demanding a fair share of the inheritance. When Acsah asked for more of the inheritance of her father and he gave her that was no covetousness Jdg 1:15. When Jabez asked God to enlarge His coasts it wasn’t covetousness for God gave it. Why have you labelled this covetous?” Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!" And God granted what he asked1Chron 4:10(ESV).

O my beloved. There are many differences. Achsah and Jabez unlike you are not comparing themselves with anyone or deciding their request based on what any man has or has not. Achsah wanted help for the dryness of the land (She answered, "I want some water holes. The land you have given me is in the dry country." So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs Jdg 1:15(GNB).)

and Jabez was leaving lack. You are not speaking because you lack food or basic necessities. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content 1Tim 6:8(ISV).

“It still isn’t fair! Why should he enjoy and I have the crumbs? I should get more!”

You are not speaking according to need now for your living. Look gifts are given according to the grace each man has. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us Rom12:6(ESV).  Do you have the grace to handle what you are asking before you make a shipwreck of faith? When God distributes talents it is according to each man’s ability and not everyone gets the same numbers. To one man he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, based on their ability Mat 25:15(ISV). Mark you to whom much is given much is required. The life of a man doesn’t consist in the abundance of his possessions. Stop wanting to earn like a senator or other lawmakers. Every giver has a right to generosity.
