Holy God,

HAPPY NEW: day, week, month, year. I’ve been thinking of all the newness we have in You. Direct and guide my seeking and finding this day Dear Lord.

(8:31 a.m.)

New life. New power. New spirit.

(8:48 a.m.)

New way of thinking. New season. New beginnings. New Kingdom living. New way of life.

2 Corinthians 5:17.

The Living Bible. “When someone becomes a Christian, he becomes a brand new person inside. He is not the same anymore. A new life has begun!” Amen! Hallelujah, Lord!

The Passion Translation. “Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.”

Amplified Bible. “Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].”

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition. “Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!”

Easy-to-Read Version. “When anyone is in Christ, it is a whole new world. The old things are gone; suddenly everything is new!”

So much newness Lord. Guide me in it. Steep me in it! I want to live this new day, week, month, year, life in, with, by, through and for You. Your strength. Your power. Your Truth. Your promises. Your Word.

I love You. I need, trust and want You. Thank You. Praise You. Use me. Amen.
