The KING'S Chambers!

"The KING has brought me into
HIS chambers!" Song of Songs 1:4
Come and enter with me into the private
chambers of our LORD and let us enjoy
the rich, spiritual splendors of our
HUSBAND and KING.
Enter in child of GOD, and marvel with
me at the ornate, soul cheering luxuries
of these gospel chambers.
HIS heavenly furnishings, decor, curtains,
and tapestries are the most extravagant
beauties you have ever seen. They cost
a king's ransom; for the KING purchased
each one with HIS own precious blood.
Look up, down, and all around and
you will notice that every wall is white,
seamless, spotless, and pure.
Righteousness is the color
of choice in these stately halls.
The floors are firm, unshakable,
and clear as crystal--
built from the sweat, blood, tears,
and labor of the KING HIMSELF.
Do you see the stairs--
how shimmering, brilliant, and bright.
Each step was quarried from Mount
Calvary and is an everlasting memorial
to a journey once made by the KING that
HE will never make again; for it was at
Calvary that HIS people crucified HIM
as the unwanted JESUS.
Look there in the corner--
do you see that golden chest covered
with love and encrusted with glory?
That's where the KING keeps HIS most
treasured possession, a precious book that
HIS FATHER gave to HIM ages ago--
The LAMB'S Book of Life.
Long ago, before the earth, moon, and
stars adorned the heavens, the KING'S
FATHER took the sovereign pen of eternal
election in HIS hand and inscribed in
everlasting ink the names of a precious few.
These are the names of the royal seed,
the KING'S precious children, those whom
HE loves, for whom HE died, for whom HE
reigns as KING over all.
To these elect ones the KING sends HIS SPIRIT.
To them HE gives the gift of faith that they too
might be brought into these royal chambers
and stately halls. These believing ones, like us,
are brought here by the KING.
They come as we have come--
to refresh ourselves, to enjoy, to marvel,
and to bask in the secret wonders of the KING'S
redeeming love, everlasting mercy, and
immutable purpose of grace and salvation!
