Happy Birthday, Singapore! =]

I was in the LoveSingapore prayer meeting yesterday at Expo and I was really pleasantly surprised to see that the hall was packed with Christians from all walks of life! Huifen told me that about 20% of Singaporeans are Christians. I didn't know that! I thought only 12%! Harharhar...it was really awesome to see so many people gathered for the same purpose. As I wondered what brought so many different people to the same place, I suddenly realised that none of these people were here by chance. It was part of God's design and purpose that each unique person was at Expo at 7.30pm on Friday 8 Aug 2008. How awesome is our God!!! =D

When I was in SAJC, almost every morning, the then principal, Mrs Belinda Charles, would tell us, "No one is here by chance". After so many years, her words are still in my head and even though I forget sometimes, God reminds me that no one and nothing happens by chance. God doesn't slip up!

God must really love Singapore. We are a tiny island compared to the countries around us but our influence far surpasses our neighbours. The odds were really against us but God has made the impossible possible. He has used the small nation to impact the larger ones. It's truly God's grace that has enabled our country to be where she is now.

7 more years to the Year of Jubilee. Let's make the right decisions till then!

Happy Birthday, Singapore!
