Proverbs 4:26
Ponder the path of thy feet,
and let all thy ways be established.
Direction determines destination. The best indicator of where you'll end up is what direction you're currently headed. If your feet are facing east, then further east is a reasonable expectation of where you'll be by the day's end. Unless you're walking backwards. In which case, turn around. Unless you're approaching Medusa. In which case, you've got bigger problems.
"A destination is meaningless, however, without directions on how to get there." -- John Wooden, Wooden on Leadership
You must know where you want to go and you must point your feet in that direction, but there remains a need for guidance on how to traverse the obstacles of the path, how to make it uphill without giving up or downhill without slipping and falling head over heels. Direction then requires directions. Not just where to go, but how to go about it.
God, in His Word, has given us clear instruction as to the destination at which we should aim, the direction in which we should go and the directions on how to ensure that we get there.
