Righteousness Exalteth a Nation
A nation where justice reigns, where there is righteous administration of the government, where law is upheld and order prevails, receives God’s favour. God exalts such a nation (Prov. 14:34).
In the past week, the nation mourns the death of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, architect of modern Singapore. Mr Lee Kuan Yew once said, “I’m very determined. If I decide that something is worth doing, then I’ll put my heart and souls to it. The whole ground can be against me, but if I know it is right, I’ll do it. That’s the business of a leader.”
Our late principal of the Far Eastern Bible College, the late Rev. Dr. Timothy Tow taught us, “Singapore law is taken from Indian law and Indian law from British law and British law from Roman law and Roman law from God’s laws as recorded by Moses in the Holy Scriptures.” Broadly speaking, that’s the basis for the Singapore constitution that is worth our defending.
