It boils down to him assuring the people that the Government is aware of the peoples' needs. We are not to be unduly anxious, but Government and people can work together to make Singapore prosper.
We do not have a perfect Government. No country has one. But we do have a good Government which addresses the needs of the people. We as citizens must pray for our Government that they be given wisdom and discernment as they rule the country.
I've been thinking - what is one of the outstanding characteristics our people today? I guess it is an overriding anxiety. The elderly worry about aging, ill health, medical bills etc. Parents worry about their children. They want to ensure they get into good schools to prepare them for the future in this competitive world. Take comfort in the words of our Lord.
Do Not Worry
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[?“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ Matthew 6: 25-31
Yes, we have a good Government in Singapore. More important we believe in the Sovereignty of God who provides for all our needs when we put our trust in Him
