It's National Day today, and we are enjoying the peace and quietness of our surroundings for a change. I'm glad the workers are given the day off; they are foreign workers, but they deserve a day of rest and relaxation too.
It has been said, “Rests or pauses in music contribute to the finer expressions of harmony and melody.” Life is full of stresses and strains and it is necessary for us to take time to rest and reflect on the goodness and glory of God.
We do not have a perfect Government; no country has! We thank God due to good governance, there is peace in our land. We need to realise that it is not easy to be leaders, especially of a small nation 'the little red dot' like ours. We are a multi racial, multi-cultural and multi-religious country. There is a wide diversity of views among our people on how things ought to be done. People these days have high expectations of their leaders. We may not agree with every decision the Government makes, but as loyal citizens, let us not punch holes in the ship of which we are all passengers. Seriously they need our support and prayers.
Paul writing to young Timothy says, "The first thing I want you to do is to pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Saviour God wants us to live."
1 Timothy 2: 1-3 (The Message)
