That although we are a small nation and lacked natural resources, we a disciplined people who make a living scrapping out of rocks.<BR/><BR/>Let us not forget God's forgiveness, mercy and His loving hand in our survival and that He will always be able to find enough upright people (at least 10 ???) in the land (Gen 18:16-33) as we walk in this globalised world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24383995.post-70409963083357785692007-08-10T08:12:00.000+08:002007-08-10T08:12:00.000+08:00Those of us who watched the annual National Day Pa...Those of us who watched the annual National Day Parade yesterday would have been moved by the pomp and pageantry. This is what we have grown accustomed to expect - and nothing less. <BR/><BR/>The reading from Numbers speaks directly to us on the occasion of Singapore's 42nd anniversary of independence.<BR/><BR/>- as He did the Israelites of old, God assembled a people in the Lion City out of disparate ethnicities and religions. He is still doing it today. <BR/><BR/>- He purified the Israelites for forty years to prepare them for the land that He promised them. In the bounty that Almighty God has lavished on all who lived in Singapore for the last 42 years, what may our trials have been? Or have we been so de-sensitized by the material well-being that we missed the opportunities for growth? <BR/><BR/>LORD God, we thank you for your all your blessings on our country and home, and pray that you will continue to shelter us under the shadow of your wing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
