Proverbs 3:21-23

My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound wisdom and discretion, and they will be life to your soul (your inner self) and a gracious adornment to your neck (your outer self) then you will walk on your way (of life) securely and your foot will not stumble. 

God’s word is the security blanket against sudden changes. We may not know the future even when we make plans for it, but God does. When we are guided by our spirit in direct connection with God, we eliminate the chances of going in the wrong direction. The wisdom of God is clearing the path and lights the way.
