Psalm 32:8

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.

The longer life progresses, it is clear to see that there is an easy way and a hard way. We were never meant to figure everything out ourselves but to have God as the guide in our lives. God knows the way around and through the pitfalls. He sees the end from the beginning and can teach us the way to go. We just need to be willing to listen to instruction.
