"He who trusts in his own heart is a fool, but whoever walks wisely will be delivered." (Prov. 28:26)

"An airplane pilot is not to trust his own instincts in a storm, but to trust the instrument panel. Instincts can be wrong if he experiences vertigo. Just as a pilot can get so jostled around that he loses his sense of up and down, we can get so jostled around by the philosophy of this world that we lose our sense of right and wrong. We have an instrument panel that is more reliable than our own feelings." (From Robert L. Russell)

The Psalmist said, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalm 119:105) Again, "Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way." (Psalm 119:104)
