'Aspire' in the Bible

For is it man's favour or God's that I aspire to? Or am I seeking to please men? If I were still a man-pleaser, I should not be Christ's bondservant.

to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you.

But they now desire a better place—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.
