It is not in man to know his own way...

NPR examines why men cannot walk in a straight line when blindfolded


Man's goings are of the LORD; how can a man then understand his own way? Prov: 20:24

Without something to keep his eyes upon to know where he is heading... man will go every which way but straight.

I tell you the same is true when you have your eyes open when you do not have a vision for your life, direction to point you and guidance to correct your ways. Man thinks that he is walking the right path... the straight and narrow... but without God to direct him in the proper way he should go... man is destined to travel in circles. He will always think he is making progress and if asked he will even swear to you that he is going the right way. Yet at the end of the day he will find out the path he was walking on all along without outside help or especially help from above, his progress was all but wandering in circles.
