Beyond the Outer Chamber: Discovering God's Best for Your Life
Illustration★★★★The discovery of King Tut’s tomb is considered one of the richest in history. However, archaeologists had no idea what waited for them beyond the first chamber; robbers had earlier plundered it. Yet a closer examination revealed an undisturbed sepulchral chamber and treasure room.
Excavators found priceless gold and silver items along with precious stones. There was also an abundance of rings and bracelets so ingenious and perfect in design that even a magnifying glass could not reveal the soldered joints.
With gold, silver, and priceless jewelry surrounding them, archaeologists could not help wondering why earlier intruders had stopped at the outer chamber. Did they not realize they had entered the burial chamber of a king?
As puzzling as this may seem, many of us do the same thing in our Christian walk. We plunder the outer chamber of God’s blessings, never realizing there is an entire throne room waiting for us if only we would seek Him above all else.
The point
King Tut's outer chamber was plundered, but inner treasures remained. Many Christians access God's outer blessings but miss the treasure of intimate fellowship in His throne room.
