You say, 'If I had a little more, I should be very satisfied.' You make a mistake. If you are not content with what you have, you would not be satisfied if it were doubled.
It is knowing God's plan for your life, having a conviction to live it, and believing that God's peace is greater than the world's problems. So few people live it. Yet contentment is not something that's found; it is an attitude.We need much less than we think we need.
What religion says?
Although many Scriptures teach about the dangers of material riches, God's Word does not teach that poverty is God's alternative. God wants us to understand that money is a tool to use in accomplishing His plan through us. If we are to find true contentment we must establish some basic guidelines.
Establish a reasonable standard of living.
Establish a habit of giving
Establish priorities.
Develop a thankful attitude
Seek God's will.
Trust God's promise.
Once the attitude has been modified and all has been transferred to Allah, contentment will be evident.
