Devotion on Comfort and Hope, Relationship with God, Matthew 16:26a. 2 pages.

“For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul?” (Matthew 16:26a).

Acronyms abound in the texting world we live in and some, like ICYMI, have become almost a
second language to many. It is a shorthand that often does not even need translation for either
the sender or receiver. FYI (For Your Information), LOL (Laughing Out Loud), TBD (To Be
Determined) are other ready examples that most of us know and use often.

In case you missed it, ICYMI stands for “in case you missed it.” … For the Christian, ICYMI can mean In Christ, you made it.

Devotion on Freedom in Christ, Psalm 46:2–3. 1 page.

“I am so afraid, Lord! Please give me Your peace!” I said those words often, though I knew the Lord was right there with me, no matter the circumstance. Why did I find it so hard to let go of the fear?

Devotion on Seasons of Life, Matthew 1:23. 2 pages.

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel” (which means, God with us) (Matthew 1:23).

How does this happen in one’s personal life?
