Our longings can actually be deceptions. Satan loves to tempt us to run our own Kingdom and move away from God. We’re not content with how we look or how much money or possessions we have. We stubbornly resist being content. We get into petty arguments with family and acquaintances because our “wanter” wants what it wants when it wants it. Images we see in culture can obsess us – almost hypnotize us. God wants to shelter and protect us by being content with what we have until He knows we’re ready for more.
