AMBITION (Desire, Motivation, Schemes)
How can ambition become destructive?Egyptian priests had great wealth and political influence, something Korah desired for himself. Korah might have assumed that the Israelite priesthood would be the same kind of political machine. He did not understand that Moses’ main ambition was to serve God rather than control others.
How can ambition be controlled?
To be great means keeping a close relationship with God personally and nationally. To do this, David had to keep his ambition under control. Although he was famous, successful, and well liked, he gave God first place in his life and served the people according to God’s purposes. Do you seek greatness from God or from people? In the drive for success, remember to keep your ambition under God’s control.
