Have Your Way

On Sunday morning as I was spending time alone with God the phrase ‘Have Your Way’ came to mind. I goggled “Have Your Way” and was taken to two songs that stirred my heart, fed my mind, and challenged my will:

1. “Have Your Way” by Deitrich Haddon and
2. “Have Your Way with Me” by Sovereign Grace. (Click on the song title to hear each song)

The primary place where God wants to have His way is in the temple of our hearts. 1 Corinthians 3:16 reminds us we are temples of the Holy Spirit. He resides in our innermost being (John 7:38-39) desiring and deserving preeminence in our thoughts, affections, and decisions. 

Exodus 20:3 is a foundational commandment that teaches us not to allow anything or anyone to rule and control our hearts other than the Three-in-One (Father, Son and Holy Spirit). When we secretly give supremacy to other people or things we are guilty of worshiping false gods just like the idol worshipers of the Old Testament. We are happiest, freest, and most fulfilled when He is sitting on the Throne of our lives. This is the secret to emotional health, well-being, realizing our destiny, and the abundant life Jesus promised us in John 10:10.
