They say people often make intuitive judgments first and only later come up with logical reasons to explain them. At first glance, that might sound like a flaw in human thinking — as though we are led by feelings rather than reason. But what if it’s not a weakness at all? What if intuition is one of God’s quietest and most profound gifts?

There is something sacred about those inner nudges — the gentle stirring that whispers, “This feels right” or “Something isn’t as it seems.” Long before our minds can craft arguments or evidence, our hearts seem to recognize truth. It’s as if the soul has a language all its own, one that reason can’t always translate but eventually tries to justify.

Intuition doesn’t usually shout; it rarely announces itself with fanfare. Instead, it shows up in stillness — a sense of peace when choosing a certain path, or a check in your spirit when something isn’t right. Many call it a “gut feeling,” but perhaps it is more accurate to say it’s God’s quiet way of guiding us before our minds can make sense of the map.

Of course, logic and reason have their place. We are invited to think deeply, to weigh choices, to seek wisdom. But reason often comes second, not first. Logic builds the bridge; intuition shows us where to place it. Logic explains; intuition directs. Together, they weave a balance of heart and mind that keeps us steady in an unsteady world.

When we learn to honor that gift, we find ourselves less anxious and more at peace. We stop second-guessing every step and instead lean into the God who whispers through the silence of our hearts. Because sometimes the most enlightened choice is not the one we can fully explain, but the one we simply know is right.

So, the next time your heart stirs before your head can catch up, pause. Pay attention. Don’t dismiss it as mere emotion. It may just be the quiet voice of God, reminding you that you don’t always need the whole answer before taking the next step. Sometimes the gift is in trusting the nudge, and in trusting the One who gave it.

Until next time,
