Oswald Chambers put out a masterpiece.... but really it wasn't him. God has his hands all over this guy. God used him to author an amazing devotional in which I want to share. Todays was this...

THE POINT OF SPIRITUAL HONOUR
"I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians." Romans 1:14
Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus Christ, and he spent himself to express it. The great inspiration in Paul's life was his view of Jesus Christ as his spiritual creditor. Do I feel that sense of indebtedness to Christ in regard to every unsaved soul? The spiritual honour of my life as a saint is to fulfil my debt to Christ in relation to them. Every bit of my life that is of value I owe to the Redemption of Jesus Christ; am I doing anything to enable Him to bring His Redemption into actual manifestation in other lives? I can only do it as the Spirit of God works in me this sense of indebtedness.
I am not to be a superior person amongst men, but a bondslave of the Lord Jesus. "Ye are not your own." Paul sold himself to Jesus Christ. He says - I am a debtor to everyone on the face of the earth because of the Gospel of Jesus; I am free to be an absolute slave only. That is the characteristic of the life when once this point of spiritual honour is realized. Quit praying about yourself and be spent for others as the bondslave of Jesus. That is the meaning of being made broken bread and poured out wine in reality.
How amazing is that.... just think about it. Jesus thank you for the opportunity to be a follower of you, God, King, Messiah, and Savior. Help me to be a servant to others because you provided a way to God and a way of freedom to me. I owe everything to you. My life is yours!
