"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore." 

-Psalm 16:11

Does this mean I have the assurance God will make our directions clear?

He promises '...to make known to me the path...'   It doesn't promise to give us the direction in which we're headed.  But scripture encourages me to trust and obey. 

It's an attitude of my mind, an orientation of my heart, a sum of all learnings.  It is the learnings that life is all about, not the situations in which we learn them. 

Show me, Lord.
