With the Lord there is no lack. He meets our deepest longings through our relationship with Him. Do you have unmet longings? Our unmet longings are often from misplaced expectations. 

Let me disclose a trap of derailment. We take our longing before the Lord. We then expect Him to fulfill it. When He doesn’t, the temptation to become bitter and resentful looms before us. If we take satan’s bait, we will be hooked ~ captured in a trap of broken expectations.

Our longings are God given. They are part of our progressive sanctification. It is crucial to keep our expectations on the Lord. When our lack becomes our focus, we will miss out on the essential lessons for our spiritual growth.

In the feeding of the five thousand, the disciples only saw the lack. They compared the five loaves and to fish to the multitude of 5,000 plus folks. Yet Jesus used the circumstance of their lack as an opportunity.
