The Fault of Intuition

I have a tremendous amount of pride in my intuition. It informs my choices - letting me know what feels right, even discerning good from evil. The problem with a highly intuitive sense coupled with a need for control is a self-reliance that really doesn't deal well when things go awry (see previous entry). For as much as my intuition has helped me, it also has led me badly astray, to the point where I've questioned my whole sense of judgment. And sometimes intuition takes me down rabbit trails that prove less than helpful. I'm not ready to abandon my intuition. I know much of it is God-given, but I also need to know that I have far less oversight in everything than God does (preaching to myself here). And it is the work of the Holy Spirit to lay aside any confidence in self, grounding intuition where Scripture ought to triumph.
