“Our longings produce an ache within us, and the enemy loves to use this to tempt us to turn away from God and ultimately turn inward to satisfy our longings. Turning inward tempts us to look to things like food, relationships, money, and success for our satisfaction. But, these things, void of God, will leave us restless. James wrote, “But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death” (James 1:14–15 ESV).”
