One who is full loathes honeycomb, but to one who is hungry every bitter thing is sweet.
Proverbs 27:7 TLV
People who think they are enough or have enough give up trying and they miss out on many good things in life. Ambition is just another word for motivation, and a little deprivation and hardship will motivate someone to improve himself, work harder.
This can be interpreted in the opposite direction also. If your heart and life are full of healthy, fulfilling relationships and activities, it is harder for temptations to find a hold on you. It's not enough to avoid things that bring temptation. You need to fill those gaps with things that bring true happiness.
This week's #torah reading is Ki Tavo (#deuteronomy 26:1-29:9), which means "when you come in". Here's a list of apostolic passages to study alongside Parsha #kitavo, with corresponding commentary and video teachings: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/03/21/parsha-ki
Are you an unwitting victim of improper translation? Genesis 4:4 for instance uses the word offering in most translations, however this has been misinterpreted as sacrifice by many people. The word Hebrew word used can also mean gift or tribute. This mistranslation or misinterpretation has caused far too much confusion and causes us to focus on the tribute rather than the heart of the brothers. Able’s heart was to please the Creator bringing the best of the best while Cain was content with doing the least he could do. Our Creator offers us His best and desires our best in return. We often miss the grace offered to Cain, Genesis 4:7, “If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?”
