"I'm about to do something brand-new" is indicative of God's promise of renewal and transformation. Believers begin a new life when they are born again by the Spirit. Spiritual transformation builds believers' faith. Embrace becoming a new creation and enjoy a new life in Christ. Although we have new life in Jesus, believers wrestle with theold nature and old self. We must actively seek to put on the new self.
"I'm about to do something brand-new" is indicative of God's promise of renewal and transformation. In order to continue moving well in this new life in Christ, thank Him not just for His present help in our lives, BUT also for His sacrifice on Calvary and gift of eternal life with Him. This new life is a gift of God's grace, made possible by Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. Also, in order to continue moving well in this new life in Christ, ensure your mind and behavior are transformed. Actively and continuously change your thinking and actions to one that reflects God's character [e.g., love, kindness, and holiness].
God's Word is active – a living, active force, impacting and shaping the lives of true believers. Prayer is a solemnrequest for help or expression of thanks addressed to God. A confident and effective prayer life includes assurance of God's attentiveness and willingness to hear us, trust in God's faithfulness and promises, and exhibiting humility and alignment with God's will. When we understand God's nature and character traits [e.g., loving, kind, infinite, all powerful, omnipresent], this builds up our confidence to pray AND stand on it.
God's Word Is Alive and Active 3!) God's Word is active – a living, active force, impacting and shaping the lives of true believers. God's Word nurtures believers; caring for and encouraging us to develop in our spirits. We believers are made alive spiritually and eternally – step out and walk in the power of the living Word!
The phrases "I'm about to do something brand-new; Behold, I am doing a new thing; Look! I'm making everything new." are indicative of God's promise of renewal and transformation. It encourages believers to depart from the past and to look ahead to the future with hope and faith, expecting God to bring fresh and new opportunities in their lives no matter the circumstances. In Christ, we are no longer defined by past sins or worldly desires. We become a new creation, with our old self passing away and our new self emerging. Embrace your new identity and purpose, in Him!
Man's lifetime on Earth is not infinite. Seek Him in your use of time. Use the gift of time that God blesses us with well. Time is valuable. Seek God, gain wisdom, grow spiritually, and value the time He gives. God calls us to use our time not solely for our own spiritual growth but also to work with other people, displaying the love of Jesus so that they too may experience His love. Time is to be used intentionally. Seek God with intention so that our use of the time He blesses us with aligns with His purpose for our lives. The love of God toward us enables us to use our time serving Him and others to build God's Kingdom.

There's a time for everything. However, while we move through time, hope assists us immensely particularly in times of uncertainty and challenge. Hope (def) – is looking toward the future with a confident expectation; moves beyond wishing for something to happen – it is rooted in faith in God and firm belief in God's fulfillment of His promises (e.g., His redemptive plan, the coming of the Messiah, the resurrection of the dead, or the establishment of God's kingdom.) Believe! Let God fill you with hope and then hold fast to it! Keep trusting God's Word as you continue to hope in Him and His promises.

Good (def) – that which is morally right; righteousness; possessing or displaying moral virtue. A good man is committed to following the Lord. A good man has the Word engrafted in his heart. A good man fears the Lord (His responses to God's commands are full of reverence, awe, honor and respect.) A good man leaves an inheritance – not just money, but an investment which can be both natural and spiritual. God's Good Man plans for the future by saving and investing, so that those he is responsible for are well taken care of.

The Bible emphasizes the power of words – they build up or tear down, heal or wound, and influence the course of one's life. Evaluate your words and choose what you will express – words that harm or heal. Choose to express life giving words – uplifting words that carry grace and kindness. Be one who embodies attributes like patience, kindness, faithfulness, empathy, forgiveness, tolerance, love and compassion. Listen before you speak. Don't talk too much – there is wisdom in holding one's tongue. Move past you – stop being overly self-absorbed, arrogant, or sensitive about our own feelings or importance.

There's a time for everything. There are seasons we experience in life when we feel weary, tired, busy or even stuck – forgetting HOW to continue to seize opportune or suitable moments time provides us. Stuck arises from a myriad of reasons. In these moments, it's easy to lose sight of what is actually well and good in our lives; particularly that God is present with and helps us in all moments. Holy Spirit renews our thoughts and attitudes – we must do our part to actively stay in this space. Faith in God allows us to realize that we do not have to allow discontent and/or unhappiness to make us remain stuck and take life for granted. God is the source of our joy, so yield and allow His joy to manifest in our lives.
