What is satisfaction in the Bible? Have you thought about it? What about quality vs quantity?

How about this- Are you satisfied in your life? Or, is there something missing? Keeping ourselves busier and busier or buying more and more stuff thinking that is the solution?

How often do we think that the more we have or the busier we are the more satisfied we will be. The problem with that is that we end up spreading ourselves too thin. More stuff and more activity does not equal satisfaction.  

Quality actually suffers.  

Instead, it is better to do a few things well.  

Quality vs Quantity

Deepen your activities and relationships instead of doing a lot hastily. The busier we are the more stress we put on ourselves.  

Going deeper in our work, relationships, etc. Is much more satisfying than doing a lot or having a lot of surface relationships.  

By going deeper in our relationships, you will find people that you can count on when you are in need.  

By going deeper in our work, no matter what it is, you develop an expertise. It is better to do a few things well than a lot of things only average just as an example

Here are 20 quantity vs quantity quotes about satisfaction in the Bible what is most important in life.

Conclusion

We all get trapped in the business of life thinking that if we just do or finish one more thing or buy that special something we’ve always wanted that we will be satisfaction.

However, satisfaction in the Bible is all about quality over quantity. It’s about the little moments in our life. 

When we get to the end of our lives, we’re not going to wish that we bought more stuff or worked harder. 

We’re going to wish we knew God better. We’re going to wish we spent more time with our family and friends and told them how much we loved them.
