Devarim

“God, your God was with you, you lacked for nothing” (Deuteronomy 2:7)

The wise King Solomon said, “One who desires money is never satisfied with what he has” (Ecclesiastes 5:9). So it is with all physical pursuits. They are insatiable.

An alcoholic saw a sign on a tavern, “Grand opening! All the booze you want for $1.” He promptly ordered $2 worth.

Moses is telling us that the closer we are to God, the less are our wants and needs. If we are distant from God, our wants and needs may be insatiable.
