There are inner secret chambers within our being, we called it our heart, where the Lord speaks to us, if you will.

He prompts us, inner promptings. He urges, he moves, he convicts, he directs, he stops, he guards, he guides.

You've felt it, that quiet nudge in the middle of a noisy day, that inner whisper that

says wait or go or not this one.

You couldn't quite explain it, so you called it a hunch.

But what if it was something far more significant than that?

Today on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall invites us to slow down long enough to hear what God may already be telling us in a world that never stops accelerating where stillness feels almost countercultural this is your invitation to understand those unidentified inner promptings. Two sections of Scripture will be our reading this morning.

First from Genesis 1, I'll read a couple of verses from that first chapter,

and then locate Psalm number 139.

Psalm 139.

Following the reading in Genesis 1, I want to read a few verses out of that 139 Psalm.

First Genesis 1, beginning at verse 26, and then Psalm 139,

Then God said, let us make man in our image according to our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky,

and over the cattle, and over all over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. God created man in his own image.

In the image of God, he created him. Male and female, he created them. Then Psalm 139, beginning at the first verse,

notice it is a prayer, O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You know when I sit down and when I rise up.

You understand my thought from afar.

You scrutinize my path and my lying down and are intimately acquainted with all my ways, even before there is a word on my tongue,

behold, O Lord, you know it all.

Verse 13.

For you formed my inward parts, you wove me in my mother's womb.

I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
