Only unto the land of the children of Ammon thou camest not, nor unto any place of the river Jabbok, nor unto the cities in the mountains, nor unto whatsoever the Lord our God forbad us. (Deuteronomy 2:37)
See Num. 21:24; Judges 11:22. According to the divine command the territory of the Ammonites was not invaded. Ambition must ever be in harmony with the will of God and not seek to go beyond the limits He has set. Then success in this life will be all blessing. But if one goes beyond God’s will to seek more than He permits, success in the venture may well prove to be Dead Sea fruit.
