Holy Scripture
Proverbs 20:24
A church father on this verse
“"The steps of man are directed by God." A mortal, that is a sinner [as such], cannot [of himself] know the ways of the Lord; in fact, since he is mortal, he has [of yet] neither died nor lived with Christ. Therefore in the journey to the kingdom of heaven the steps of man are directed by the Lord.”

Original
24A man’s goings are directed of the Lord: How then can a mortal understand his ways?
