Our thoughts and limited foresight are not possibly able to maneuver through and compete in life’s complex maze and stand against our adversary (the Lucifer- Eph. 6:12) in this arena in which we dwell. Only Almighty God has the ETERNAL insight and wisdom to direct His children's foot steps through this highly complex maze called life and safely lead them through to their ETERNAL home.
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him (James 1:5).
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:8,9).
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered (Psalm 40:5).
And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God (Mark 11:22).
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

Men seek Knowledge but rarely WISDOM. Wisdom will direct there paths toward God. Knowledge most often is used to direct a man's path back to himself (or other men).
Here are the words to a old song that applies:
Hold to God's unchanging Hand:
Time is filled with swift transition,
Naught of earth unmoved can stand,
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
Refrain:
Hold to God’s unchanging hand,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand;
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
Trust in Him who will not leave you,
Whatsoever years may bring,
If by earthly friends forsaken
Still more closely to Him cling.
Covet not this world’s vain riches
That so rapidly decay,
Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures,
They will never pass away.
When your journey is completed,
If to God you have been true,
Fair and bright the home in glory
Your enraptured soul will view.
