Proverbs 20:6, 9, 22, 24
6 Most men will proclaim each his own goodness, But who can find a faithful man? 9 Who can say, “I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin”? 22 Do not say, “I will recompense evil”; Wait for the Lord, and He will save you. 24 A man's steps are of the Lord; How then can a man understand his own way?

We are not good of ourselves, nor can we make ourselves good, clean, and righteous by our own effort. God is the only one who can deliver us into goodness, and the only way He gives us is Jesus Christ. Since He then leads each step we take, we must look to Him and in His word to find understanding, meaning, and purpose in and for all we do.
