Ahab coveted another's land.
Jezebel ordered the death of an innocent man,
So that Ahab might have what he wanted.
God punished them both.
Do I covet what others have?
I say no to that question
But in my heart is doubt.
Doubt that I am as pure in heart and mind
As I should be.
Oh, I would never murder or condone murder,
But would I put my well-being before others?
I fear that answer.
Let me remember that in your kingdom,
The last shall be first
And we must be servants of all.
