Listening to That Inner Knowing

How often have you had an inkling that you should do something or not do something? Have you ever got the feeling that you should talk to a specific person or approach someone you don't know? How often have you listened? I have learned the hard way how important it is to listen to that voice of intuition. I truly believe that it is the voice of God speaking to us. When I don't listen, I am always sorry.



Several years ago, I lived in a townhouse complex with an alley behind it. Every day I would drive down this alley to enter the subterranean garage and park my car. One day, my intuition told me not to drive down that alley. Since I'd lived at this location for three years and had driven that way every day, I didn't understand where this idea was coming from. I decided that it was a silly thought, drove down the alley, and parked my car without incident.

The next morning, I went into the garage and as I approached my car I noticed that I had a flat tire. This was what my intuition was trying to warn me of. I had run over a nail in the alley.


You would think I'd have learned my lesson long before that. As a teenager, I was riding as a passenger in a friend's car. When we approached an intersection, I asked her to stop the car, even though the light before us was green. I convinced my friend to do what I asked even though it didn't make logical sense. Sure enough, a car sped through a red light at the intersection. If we had kept going, it would have collided with us. My intuition saved our lives.

Today I listen to my intuition without hesitation; even if what it is saying does not make sense. Yesterday a co-worker of mine became very ill and was sick to her stomach. I was able to provide her with tea to calm her stomach down. I had the tea because that morning my intuition told me to include the tea as I packed my lunch for the day.


When we listen to our intuition, we listen to the voice of God speaking. Let intuition be a powerful tool for you.
