Joshua 5:14
Last year Christmas I was in Strasbourg. And it felt a little strange for it was the first time I was out of Singapore during the festive period. I did miss the bon viva spirit of celebrating with friends.
Now, nine months later, i find myself in Dublin and London, looking from a distance the hustings going on in our coming polls. And I missed the rare chance to cast my vote this Saturday, as geography dictates my ineligibility to vote.
Where yonder lies the destiny of our little Red Dot after this weekend?
Who should we vote for? Emotions naturally run high when it comes to the need to depend on one's finite and flawed understanding.
Is it pride, envy, fear, self righteousness and the whole myriad of emotions that is at full play in us the electorate?
How do we know we have voted "right?"
'See Damascus will no longer be a city, but a heap of ruins.'
Isaiah 17:1
A sudden change of scenery. What has our election got to do with the ongoing refugee fallout from Syria?
Lest we forget, our forefathers were in the main seeking refuge from the ravages of war and economic hardships in Mother China.
We have come a long way, and in the recent bereavement of Mr Lee Kuan Yew, there have been ample visually powerful reminders of our what was.

'You have forgotten God your Saviour, you have not remembered the Rock your fortress'
Isaiah 17:10
Gratitude to the previous generation of leaders does not give a birthright of credibility to the next.
So how should one vote?
For us who know our Lord, we thank Him for blessing our nation. And we now must look to Him.
With the Biblical prophesy for Damascus being
fulfilled as I pen this, will the destruction of Northern Israel as indicated in Isaiah17:10 be a near reality? The Iranians and their Hezbollah proxies are gearing up to make this a reality.
This Saturday is more than an election.
As a nation, we must not forget the Lord our God.
He has blessed us and will continue to do so. But forget Him not.
God blesses
