In Genesis Adam and Eve were made to leave the garden of Eden and were to till and sow the land to eat, in other words they had to work to supply their needs. To take from others after their hard work many things can happen. People could go hungry, causing hopelessness and anger, and can also bring misfortune to ones life who is taking from others without asking. Somebody somewhere had to work for what you are about to steal, stop and think about that.
Sometimes if you just ask you might be surprised when someone will give you what you asked for and more. Someone somewhere is just waiting for someone to ask them for something, make their day.
In the bible 1 Corinthians 6:9, says a little bit about thieves and how they wont be part of the kingdom of God. On another note, working toward a goal and accomplishing it is a far greater feeling than stealing something you've not worked for. Being able to buy something that you need with money that you worked for is also a good feeling. When you steal you betray, deceive, swindle, bring shame on yourself, and sometimes even lying to cover your tracks. Some even steal out of envy, here's some scripture on it; Deuteronomy 5:21, James 3:16 & 4:5,& Psalm 10:3, Proverbs 13:25, Psalm 34:19.
Some steal out of laziness. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12, 2nd Thessalonians 3:10-12, Proverbs 20:13 & 13:4. Sometimes ones will steal because of their own poverty. Psalm 72:12-13, Psalm 102:17, Matthew 7:7-8 & 21:22, Isiah 30:19 & John 16:23-24. When you work for what you want, scripture says in 2nd Chronicles 15:7, Proverbs 20:11, Jesus was even rewarded for His work when we read John 17:4-5, Colossians 1:10, Proverbs 14:23, and Ephesians 4:28.
God bless those who work for what they want and pray for what they need.
