Finding Gratitude in Every Circumstance

Devotion: In Everything Give Thanks

Scripture

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. 1 Thessalonians 5:18.

Reflection

If you look closely, this verse isn’t really saying “be thankful for everything.” Instead, it says “be thankful in everything.” That’s a big deal because it means you don’t have to force yourself to be thankful for rough patches, like a flat tire, getting sick, or facing obstacles. 

The Bible doesn’t just mention “some things” or “a few things.” It talks about everything. And when it says everything, it really means all of it, big stuff, small stuff, important stuff and trivial stuff. l 

Philippians 4:6-7 is all about not letting anxiety take over your life. Whenever you’re feeling stressed out, just take a moment to chat with God. Ask for His help and remember to say thank You for the good stuff too. This is a great way to deal with your worries. And then, you’ll feel that peace from God that goes beyond what you can understand, keeping your hearts and minds safe in Christ Jesus.

When things get tough, try to find thankfulness by remembering that God’s goodness is still around you. He’s always there, guiding you through everything for your growth and betterment, just like it says in Romans 8:28.

Practicing gratitude is a great way to step back from the crazy stuff going on around you. It reminds you to look to the One who supports and cares for you. Jesus can be like your personal “reset button,” making it easier to handle and get past those negative feelings that might mess with how you see things.

It helps you see and value the kindness and understanding that’s always around you, even when times get tough. At the core, this routine is all about helping you find that inner peace and build a stronger connection while you grow spiritually.

Prayer

Father, help me notice the little things today that usually go unnoticed, like the cozy warmth of the sun and the friendly smiles of people around me. I’m making a real effort to be grateful for what I have, even with everything going on. I believe You’re always here with me, helping me tackle whatever life throws my way. 

I’ve come to understand that even minor things can really boost my mood, so I want to take a minute to acknowledge and treasure those small details that make my day a bit brighter. Thanks a lot for sticking by my side through everything.

You’ve shown me how important it is to appreciate both the little things and the big stuff in life. With profound humility, I worship You, Almighty God, for I know there is absolutely none like You anywhere in existence. 

Your wondrous attributes and boundless kindness leave me utterly speechless, as I reflect on the unparalleled nature of Your being. I lift my voice and heart in adoration, celebrating the unique essence of Your divinity. Truly, You are the One and Only God, deserving of all my praise and devotion. In Jesus’ name, Amen,

Top Review from the United States

5.0 out of 5 stars Pilgrim’s Journey

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2025

Format: Kindle

As a passionate enthusiast of history, particularly the rich tapestry of Christian history, Dr. Andrew C S Koh’s Walking in His Footsteps struck me as a compelling blend of personal memoir, spiritual reflection, and historical travelogue. Published in 2025, this nonfiction account chronicles the author’s pilgrimage through key sites in the Holy Land, from the Jordan River to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. While it’s framed as a devotional journey aimed at deepening faith, it offers substantial value for history buffs by grounding biblical narratives in tangible, archaeological contexts. Koh, a physician and devout Christian, writes with sincerity and accessibility, making the book an inviting read for anyone curious about how ancient events echo in modern landscapes. The structure is straightforward and effective: after a warm preface and foreword (penned by Elder David Lim Sui Meng), the book dives into 23 chapters, each dedicated to a specific site. Koh doesn’t just describe places like the Mount of Olives, where Jesus prayed and ascended, or Qumran Caves, home to the Dead Sea Scrolls; he weaves in biblical references (primarily from the NIV), historical details, and his own experiences. For instance, in the chapter on Tabgha, the site of the miracle of the loaves and fishes he recounts the serene atmosphere by the Sea of Galilee, linking it to the Gospel accounts while noting the Church of the Multiplication’s Byzantine mosaics. Similarly, his visit to the Western Wall explores its Jewish roots and Christian resonances, touching on Roman destruction in 70 AD and ongoing excavations. These sections shine for history lovers, providing concise overviews of sites’ evolution from ancient times through Byzantine, Crusader, and Ottoman periods. What elevates the book beyond a standard guide is Koh’s personal touch. He shares moments of awe, like kneeling in the Nativity Grotto or reflecting on Elijah’s confrontation at Mount Carmel, which humanize the history. The inclusion of photographs (credited to S K Loh) and poems at chapter ends adds a visual and contemplative layer, helping readers visualize the rugged Judean deserts or the tranquil Galilee shores. As someone drawn to Christian history, I appreciated how Koh connects sites to broader themes like the Essenes’ possible role at Qumran or the interfaith dynamics at the Temple Mount without overwhelming the narrative. Virgil Walker, ★★★★★ ( 1 out of 19 Amazon rveiwes, average star rating 5/5).

Embracing the Prince of Peace for Inner Calm

Devotion

Be Not Afraid

Scripture

Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful. John 14:27

Reflection

It seems like the world tries to sell you this idea of “peace,” but really, it’s just loads of distractions, you know? Nothing beats a sweet holiday or a quick solution, right? These might make you feel better for a moment, but they don’t really solve the bigger problems underneath.

It’s like just throwing some paint on a wall that’s falling apart when it actually needs major repairs, not just a quick fix. On the other side of things, Jesus offers this incredible peace that’s not just handed down to you, but is honestly a deep and meaningful gift. He reassures you with the words, “My peace I give to you.” 

Finding this peace feels like having a strong defense against all the negativity that spills over in the news and the struggles you carry with you day in and day out. 

It encourages you to understand that deep within you lies the power to make a significant choice in your life. You can let all these stress and worries pull you down into sadness, or you can choose to find the peace that surpassed all understanding. 

Take a little time today to talk about what’s bothering you and share these worries with Him. This small act of reaching out can lead to profound relief and a renewed sense of hope. Ultimately, the choice is yours to find strength and comfort in His presence.

Take hold of the triple peace that’s available to you. The peace of God that soothes your heart and soul, the peace with God that encourages trust and understanding in your relationship with Him, and the peace from God that brings comfort and reassurance when you know that God has forgiven your sins.

If you really want to find some peace in the craziness of life, it’s super helpful to think about what Psalm 46:10 says: “Be still, and know that I am God.” It’s a nice little reminder to pause and tune into something larger than yourself, especially when things get a bit crazy. When things get overwhelming or you’re feeling a bit anxious, taking a step back for a second will help you sort things out and get your head straight. Holding onto this verse will guide you towards feeling calm and confident.

Story

Tsunami

In 2004, when that terrible Bali Tsunami hit, there was a story of this incredible woman caught in the crazy waves. In that scary moment, she held on tight to her faith and started singing a song called “Hide Me Now.” The lyrics below  really gave her the strength to face the tsunami:

“When the oceans rise and thunders roar, I will soar with You above the storm. Father, You are King over the flood. I will be still and know You are God.” 

Even when it felt like the whole world was out to get her, she not only got through the tsunami but also courageously opened up about her amazing testimony of hope and strength. Her experience really shows how faith can give you power, especially in tough times.

Meditation

Take a deep breath and really soak in the here and now. As you do, say out loud and with confidence: “Lord, I accept Your peace.” 

As you take a deep breath and let it out slowly, picture the stress or worry you’re clinging to just melting away. Remind yourself, “I’m letting go of my fear.” 

You can’t overlook how important this practice is. It is such a great way to discover a sense of peace and balance within yourself. 

When you understand how significant this move is, it’s clear that its impact stretches way beyond just relaxation. It sets up a vibe in your heart where peace can thrive, leading to a stronger sense of inner calm.

Give all your worries and stress to Jesus, the Prince of Peace. He’s here to bring you comfort when life gets crazy and uncertain. When you do this, you’ll feel a wave of peace and comfort from trusting Him, which helps you face your problems with a bit more ease. 

Once you get onboard with this idea, it will totally turn your stress into calmness by allowing Him to take care of your issues. Keep in mind, He gives peace that’s way deeper than what you can understand, leading you to live a much more peaceful life.

To really find peace, you need to let the Prince of Peace take the lead in your life. If you don’t give Him control and follow His guidance, you’re not going to feel this true calm. It’s through His presence that you can create real harmony in yourself and in your world. So, embracing the Prince of Peace is key to discovering that true peace.

Isaiah 9:6,  For a child is born to us. A son is given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Understanding God’s Forgiveness: East vs. West

Devotion: as far as the east is from the west

 Scripture

 As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. Psalm 103:12.

 Reflection

 Have you ever tried to get a really tough stain out of your carpet, and no matter how hard you scrub, there’s still a faint mark left behind??

 Going through this thought can make you feel like God’s forgiveness is kind of like holding onto that old stain from your mistakes. You may think He has forgiven you, but that He still notices that mess you made in the past.

 Just so you know, God’s grace does more than tidy things up. It totally gets rid of your sins.

 So, how far is the East from the West?

 When you head all the way up North at the equator until you hit the North Pole, you’ll have no choice but to start heading South again until you reach the South pole. But if you travel East at the equator, you’ll never actually reach the West. The East and the West just don’t meet. God wipes your sins clean, stretching them out as far as the East is from the West.

 God, with all His love and wisdom, doesn’t just stash your sins away for later. He wipes them out completely, giving you the amazing chance to start fresh today.

 You can move ahead, feeling light and free, letting go of the burdens from the past, and getting ready to embrace a life filled with hope and fresh beginnings.

 Your missteps shouldn’t dictate your self-worth. Each morning is a new opportunity to reinvent yourself and find what you’re really here for.

 Every day is like a beautiful gift, giving you the chance to start fresh and dive into new experiences and opportunities that can really change your lives for the better.

 There’s something special about knowing that every sunrise gives you a fresh start. It’s like a chance to try new things and tackle whatever life throws at you with more energy and hope.

 When you accept this gift, you find out how refreshing it feels to dive into the unknown, excited to learn and grow from whatever happens next.

 In this never-ending cycle of change, you discover not just a chance to grow personally but also the happiness of enjoying life right now.

 Prayer

 Father, thank You for the distance You have placed between me and the mistakes I’ve made in my past.

 Thanks for all the help you’ve given me to move on, and I’d love your gentle guidance to keep me from going back to the things you’ve already taken away.

 Please give me the strength to focus on right now and what’s coming up next, instead of letting old memories drag me down since I can’t switch them up.

 I trust that you’ll guide me and help me avoid going back to those old, harmful patterns that only make things harder for me.

 Help me look forward to the future with a clear head and a positive attitude. I believe that Your support will help me stay focused and find my way. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Anchored in the promise

Devotion

Scripture

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and entering into that which is within the veil. Hebrews 6:19.

Reflection

When the water is super calm and the ships are tied up well at the dock, they don’t really need to rely on anchors.

It’s really only when strong waves start pulling or when the wind kicks up that anchors become super important.

Jesus Christ is the strong anchor for your soul, always there for you when things get tough. When life’s storms hit hard, He is the one who keeps your boat from sinking and helps you stay safe. Having Him around brings you peace and steadiness, so you can face anything that comes your way with confidence. In the end, it is His amazing support that keeps you steady, no matter how chaotic things get.

The Bible has some good stuff about finding peace when life gets heavy, like in Matthew 11:28. It says, “Come to me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest.” This is a nice reminder that you are not alone when things get tough. Jesus gives you a warm hug, telling you that peace is waiting for you when life gets heavy. Leaning into Him will really help you feel refreshed again.

Your faith in Christ is like a strong anchor for your soul when life gets wild, hitting you with surprise bills, health issues, or tough relationship stuff, trying to pull you away from that calm feeling you had on Day 1.

But it’s important to understand that an anchor’s real effectiveness isn’t just about how strong the boat is. It only holds firm when it’s connected to something really solid and dependable.

This solid foundation is really grounded in God’s promises that never change, which brings you a lot of comfort and a feeling of security. Trust in Christ, the solid foundation for your life.

Even when life feels like a rough sea tossing your boat around, God is there as an anchor that keeps holding your boat firm and steady.

In a world filled with uncertainty and turmoil, it’s this divine assurance that keeps you grounded and stable. God’s unwavering support acts as a reminder of the strength you can find if you have faith during life’s unpredictable storms.

Meditation

Take a moment to breathe deeply, close your eyes, and let your mind drift off into a lovely place all alone with Jesus sitting by your side. This is where you feel all warm and cozy.

Take a breather in this chill spot and soak in all the peace and quiet around you. Let all your stress fade away. As you do this, pay attention to the wise words that remind you to be still and know that He is God, like it says in Psalm 46:10. Let this call for calm lead you into some deep spiritual thinking and relaxation. Just let the quiet surround you and recognize His presence in your life.

Take a moment to really feel this: “No matter how wild the storm gets and how loud the winds are, I discover my calm right in the eye of this craziness.”

Think of life’s ups and downs as just a background noise, showing off the steady peace that’s deep inside you. It’s a good time to appreciate that God is your anchor to stabilise you.

The bible says that Christ’s grace is sufficient for you. His strength really shines through when you are feeling weak. 2 Corinthians 12:9-11. He is your anchor.

With Christ giving you strength, you can handle anything that comes your way. Philippians 4:13.

Leaning on the bridge

Devotion

Scripture

Trust in Yahweh with all thine heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5

Reflection

Picture a stunning bridge that gracefully spans across a huge, deep canyon, representing the path you have to walk in life.

To really get across this amazing structure, you’ve got to let go of that solid ground you are used to on the “cliffs.” Those cliffs are like the little boxes you put yourself in, thinking you know everything that’s possible.

Instead, you should lean fully on the strong bridge of God’s unwavering faithfulness. His view is way bigger and deeper than what you can see.

Sometimes, you hit a wall with challenges that feel way too tough to handle, and it can make you feel all alone and stressed out. During these times, you face an important decision that really makes you think.

You can really tire yourself out trying to sort everything out all alone, leaving you feeling pretty frustrated and bummed. Or you could just trust Him completely. Remember, His bridge has carried so many people like you, helping them through tough times.

Story

Jacob’s ladder

In Genesis 28:12, Jacob had this amazing dream where he saw a huge stairway that reached from the ground all the way up to heaven, with God at the top, and the angels walking going up and down on it. This impressive image of the ladder is a picture of Jesus Christ, who connects you to God. He’s the bridge between you and God, which is made clear in 1 Timothy 2:5. So, through Jesus, you can really connect with God.

Thought-Provoking Question

So, are you feeling super anxious about something in your life right now?

Like, are you just caught up in worry and having trouble stepping back to see things clearly?

Are you finding it hard to just let things happen and trust in God’s bigger plan for your life?

Are you having trouble believing that God has a special design for your journey instead of just going with the flow?

Is it tough for you to sit back and trust that God knows what’s best for your journey rather than controlling everything?

Do you feel like you’re trying to take charge instead of believing in God’s plan for your life?

Are you struggling to just relax and have faith in God’s plan for how things will unfold on your journey?

Is there something that’s been really bothering you lately, making it hard for you to relax and find some peace of mind?

Is there a specific thing that’s been weighing heavily on your mind, keeping you from feeling at ease and calm?

Do you have any concerns that have been taking up a lot of your thoughts and making it tough for you to chill out?

Is there an issue that’s been on your mind a lot, making it hard for you to feel peaceful and relaxed?

Has something been stuck in your head lately, making it tricky for you to find some quiet time and enjoy life?

It is a good idea to just drop that all these worries and lean on God. Do not handle them on your own. God is all-powerful, always around, and knows everything. He can fix any issue you have, bring peace when things get rough, and can even move mountains if needed.

This will help alleviate stress and bring about a sense of relief. Take a moment to really reflect on this and imagine how it will transform your experience.

You can claim the promise of Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in the Yahweh with all your heart and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways , acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.

The Evidence of things not seen

Devotion

 

Scripture

 

 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen. Hebrews 11:1.

 

 Reflection

 

Kicking off your journey with God is like diving into a colorful world full of energy and freshness, and it comes with a buzz of excitement and some great new starts.

 

But as time passes, this amazing “spiritual high” may start to fade away. You may find yourself in a spot where it feels like God’s presence isn’t as clear or strong in your daily life.

 

It’s in these quiet moments when you’re feeling unsure that you really see what faith is all about. Faith isn’t just a feeling; it’s like this strong belief and trust in God’s constant love for you.

 

Faith is knowing that whatever you request from God will eventually come true. Faith is your third eye that allows you to see into the spiritual realm. Just try to walk by faith and not just by what you see. 2 Corinthians 5:7.

 

It’s kind of like how you know the wind is blowing when you see the leaves moving around. You cannot see God directly, but you know that He’s there, when you see His transforming power in your life.

 

When you trust Him through the tough times, it shows a deeper love than just leaning on Him when everything’s going smoothly.

 

You cannot please God if you do not have faith You cannot find Him if you don’t believe that He exists. Hebrews 11:6

 

Illustration

 

The Charles Blondin Story

 

So, Charles Blondin was this super gutsy dude who actually wheeled a wheelbarrow across the crazy Niagara Falls while balancing on a tightrope. He even asked the crowd if anyone wanted to sit in wheelbarrow, but no one had the guts to say yes. It showed that they didn’t really trust him, even though they could see he was so incredible. It’s a good reminder that you may think you believe in someone, but you don’t always act on it, you know? It really shows how you can say you believe in someone but do not actually follow through on it, doesn’t it?

 

Prayer

 

Father, when my feelings get the best of me and I’m stuck in a fog of confusion, I really need Your Word to ground me through the rough times.

 

Help me to lean on Your presence, especially when I can’t quite feel Your guidance.

 

Please help me build my faith so I can truly rely on You and feel confident about my path, not letting my own limits hold me back.

 

I truly pray that Your grace overflows in my heart and lights the way for me, guiding each step of my journey. I can trust You have a plan for me, leading me through the tough spots and uncertainties, filling me with hope and strength.

 

Lord, I could really use Your light during my rough patches. Please help me stay strong and hold on to Your promises.

 

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Power of the Seed

Devotion

The Power of the Seed

Scripture

Having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.1 Peter 1:23

Reflection

When you throw a seed in the garden, it can be pretty frustrating when nothing appears to happen the next day. You could feel the urge to take a peek just to find out if it’s actually growing, wondering if your hard work is paying off.

But if you just take a second to breathe and look around, you’ll see that there’s a whole amazing process of life happening right under your nose.

Think of reading the Bible like putting “eternal seeds” into your heart’s little garden. You may not walk away feeling super “transformed” as soon as you put the book down, but trust me, the Word is definitely alive and doing its thing.

It is doing amazing things in your subconscious mind, changing how you react, opening up your heart, and building a strong sense of truth inside you. Trust the process of growth. It is occurring even in the unseen moments that may test your patience.

In Hebrews 4:12, the author highlights how sharp the word of God is, saying it’s like a two-edged sword that really gets to the heart of things. This sword cuts both ways. It really helps when you’re facing spiritual challenges and also connects with our deeper feelings. Ephesians 6:17 tells us that in the armor of God, the word of God is the sword of the spirit.

The Word of God is truly something special. It can get deep down into your core, touching your soul and spirit, and even reaching into your bones and marrows with its powerful truth.

This is an imagery of how God’s words have real power and understanding. They can dig deep and find out what you’re honestly thinking. This imagery makes you realize just how much scripture can change you and the valuable insights it provides.

Meditation

Picture this lovely garden growing inside you, where every verse you read is like a little seed being tucked into the warm earth of your spirit.

Picture this. Every verses you read is like planting little seeds. Over time, these seeds can grow into big, beautiful trees that represent things like peace, joy, happiness, or the calmness that comes with patience.

As the seasons change, it’s a good time to pause and appreciate all the amazing growth and changes you’ve seen. These tiny seeds will eventually grow into something great, as they feed your soul and help you build a life full of happiness and good vibes.

Invest in the cultivation of the garden that lies deep within your heart, granting it the freedom to blossom radiantly. Remember how much joy and wisdom these messages from God can bring to your life. They really can make a difference.

Finding Clarity in the Mist

Through the Mist

A devotional for those walking by faith, not by sight

Scripture

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (NKJV)

Reflection

There are seasons when the path ahead is veiled, when the horizon disappears into fog and every step feels uncertain.

In these moments, clarity is not a gift of vision but a fruit of trust. God does not always part the mist. Sometimes, He simply walks with us through it.

The mist is not punishment. It is invitation. A call to lean not on our own understanding, but on the whisper of the Holy Spirit.

In the hush of obscurity, we learn to listen. In the absence of landmarks, we learn to follow the Shepherd’s voice.

Faith flourishes not in the sunlight of certainty, but in the twilight of surrender.

And as we walk, one prayerful step at a time, the mist begins to glow, not with answers, but with His Presence.

Poetic Grace

The fog may blur the edges, 

but grace sharpens the soul.

Not every path is lit,some are simply held. 

And in the hush between heartbeats, He is there.

Prayer

Lord, when the way ahead is hidden, help us trust the You who sees beyond the mist. Teach us to walk by faith, not by sight. Let Your Word be our compass, Your Spirit our guide, and Your love our light. Amen.

Binding of Isaac: devotion

Dr. Andrew C S Koh

box set

Setting

The Hebrew word for the binding of Isaac is Akedah. This was God’s ultimate test for Abraham. After waiting patiently for 25 years, God commanded Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice! Abraham passed the test with flying colors. 

God called Abraham by name and told him to take Isaac his only son, whom he loved, and go to Mount Moriah. The name Moriah has a beautiful meaning in Hebrew – it signifies being handpicked by God. Moriah was mentioned only twice in the Bible, and this was the first mention. 

With Isaac carrying the wood, Abraham took a journey to Mount Moriah. The wood on Isaac’s back was a foreshadow of the cross behind Jesus’ back. 

Genesis 22:9-14

9 They came to the place which God had told him of. Abraham built the altar there and laid the wood in order, bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar, on the wood. 10 Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. 11 Yahweh’s angel called to him out of the sky, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” He said, “Here I am.” 12 He said, “Don’t lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him. For now, I know that you fear God since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” 13 Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by his horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered him up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 Abraham called the name of that place “Yahweh Will Provide”. As it is said to this day, “On Yahweh’s mountain, it will be provided.” 

Reflection

The angel of the LORD called out Abraham’s name twice and stopped him from stabbing his son. Scholars believed that this Angel of the Lord was a Christophany of the pre-incarnate Christ.

Abraham passed the test with flying colors. He obeyed the God’s command. God provided a sacrificial ram trapped in the bush, just at the right moment. After sacrificing the ram as a burnt offering, Abraham called the place, Jehovah Jireh, which means, God will provide, in Hebrews.

God promised Abraham posterity as numerous as the stars of the heaven and the sand on the seashore. The whole world will be blessed by Abraham’s ultimate descendant Jesus Christ.

Application

Abraham is a type of God the Father. Isaac is a type of Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. 

Ancient Mount Moriah is present day Calvary.

At the same place two thousand years ago, God provided His only Son to be the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world. 

Whoever believes in Christ shall not perish but have eternal life, John 3:16.

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross 2000 years ago?

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for sending Your Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross 2000 years ago to save us from sin. Thank You for salvation by grace through faith in Christ. Thank you for sanctification and eternal life, in Jesus’ name, Amen. 

Dr Andrew C S Koh
