As the speedboat maneuvered, skirting mangrove swamps, creeks and estuaries as the rains pounded the now flooded River Niger, Nigeria, it was amazing watching the navigator strenuously avoiding the water hyacinth. He had learnt that despite its deceptive fragility, any direct contact by the propeller with the hyacinth could mark the end of the speed in the boat.

?He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.? ? Proverbs 16: 20 (KJV)

He is your strength in weakness.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
