We were now in the Koton-Karfe area, racing towards Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria. It was clear we had missed our destination and needed anyone we could sight, to direct us. Then we saw him, and flagged him to stop as he cycled in the opposite direction. There were three of us in the jeep, all men. He stole glances at us and accelerated as fast as his feet could propel the bicycle. By the time we got help a short distance ahead and reversed, the lone cyclist was nowhere to be found. He likely took the nearest bush path to safety.

?The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe? ? Proverb 18: 10 (KJV)

The safest place to run to is His presence.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
