The 8th Commandment speaks to a simple concept. Do not steal. But so often we make excuses. Well this store has plenty of money, they will not miss one item. Or the government does not need to know all my sources of income. But the truth is that all stealing is wrong whether from a person or from a business or from the government. And it all shows a lack of trust in our Lord who David spoke of in the famous Psalm 23:1, “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.” We do not have to want for anything with the Lord. He will provide for us. We do not need to steal anything. The Lord will provide for us.
