Success in Life

By Dr. Ron Jones

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Putting this wisdom from above into practice is one of the secrets to a successful life. But it’s not as easy as you think. We must trust in the Lord entirely, exclusively, and extensively. And when we do, He will never let us down. 

Faith never abandons reason, which is why we should never stop thinking even when we trust the Lord with all our heart. God gave us a mind to study His word and apply His wisdom to our lives. Doing that always leads to success in life.

Succes in life is hardly achievable. Lately I've been juggling work and a side project, and I keep getting stuck trying to finish a long research write-up. I can usually handle small tasks, but this one keeps eating my time and energy. I’m curious how others figure out when it makes sense to outsource writing instead of pushing through. I don’t want to waste money, but I also don’t want to spend a whole week stressing over something that could be done faster by someone who actually enjoys this stuff.
Affra says:
Reading through these experiences reminds me of how often people underestimate the time certain tasks take. Sometimes a project feels simple until you’re halfway in and realize it’s turning into a whole separate workload.
Daart says:
For me, the moment I seriously consider outsourcing is when a task keeps pulling me away from work that actually matters. Last year I had a similar situation with a report that needed strict formatting and solid sources. I checked the Same Day Essay Overview just to get a sense of what kind of help even exists, and it made me realize that sometimes it’s not about “being capable” but about not burning out. In the end, getting help let me focus on the parts of the project only I could do, and the whole thing turned out way cleaner than if I’d forced myself through it.

Every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.

Romans 8:28 MSG

I have been listening to Something Good Radio for several weeks. I gain new insights weekly that I can apply to my life. After a recent broadcast, I got down on my knees, confessed my sins, repented, and asked Jesus to be part of my life. Thanks to God's grace and mercy, you showed me His love. I am a new Christian because of your efforts.

Thank you so much for preaching the unchanging and powerful word of God every day on the airwaves. My wife and I are originally from India, and now live in Melbourne, Australia. . . . We love to listen to you breaking the Bread of Life. Keep upholding the word of truth in an increasingly dark and dying world.

Something Good happened to me this morning. I listened to Ron's broadcast from last week and feel a renewed sense of hope and encouragement! It was exactly what I needed to hear―to be reminded that our God of yesterday, today and tomorrow will answer my prayers.

Ron's messages on Something Good Radio have brought me back to God and have led me to rededicate my life to Him.

I just want to take this moment to thank the Lord for what He is doing through you. ... We are thoroughly blessed by the wonderful expository preaching! There is so much more I could say, but I will end here. Thank you. my dear brother, so much.

Your program on the radio is great. I listen to you all the time. Truckers, van drivers and all deliverers are being saved listening to the programs you come up with. God bless you and continue to broadcast more salvation programs for all those on the road, at home, and at work.

My dad passed away. While driving home, I happened upon your radio show. You talked about redemption. I normally would not have listened, but I was intrigued by what I heard. I want to hear more. I’m not a religious person but I couldn’t turn the program off. I want to learn more.

Thank you so much for being a Bible preaching and teaching pastor! You have blessed us with your ministry, and we pray that God will continue to lead you to proclaim His word boldly.
