“Imagine a person who lives well, treating others fairly, keeping good relationships—

doesn’t eat at the pagan shrines, doesn’t worship the idols so popular in Israel,

doesn’t seduce a neighbor’s spouse, doesn’t indulge in casual sex,

doesn’t bully anyone, doesn’t pile up bad debts,

doesn’t steal, doesn’t refuse food to the hungry,

doesn’t refuse clothing to the ill-clad, doesn’t exploit the poor,

doesn’t live by impulse and greed, doesn’t treat one person better than another,

But lives by my statutes and faithfully honors and obeys my laws.

This person who lives upright and well shall live a full and true life.

Decree of God, the Master.

Ezekiel 18:5-9 (MSG)

Our quality of life is not rooted in our ability to amass resources but in how we treat one another and all of God’s creation.  Life and our society will make us believe that the more I can get, in whatever way I can get it will ensure a good and abundant life, whereas God through Christ says that our good and abundant life rests upon our loving ye one another.  All Things Do Change Yet God Never Changes implies that we see God in and through all things and allow God-focus to determine how we engage life with its challenges; how we experience our every day walking around life.  Make sure that the quality of your life is rooted and grounded in your every day walking around experiences, God-focused experiences, as you engage one another and all of God’s creation.  Make God your focal point, seeing and hearing Him, in and through all things, and you will assuredly Open Up The Way to your eternal life; life and life more abundantly!
