Our last Saturday in Africa was spent at the source of the River Nile. A 3 hour drive from Kampala to Jinja brought us to the point where Lake Victoria flows into this magnificent river. The words of Exodus rang in our ears as we remembered the deeds of the Lord, the wonders He performed through Moses at this same river so long ago. We envisioned Moses as a baby hidden in the riverbank reeds, and, years later, this river as the site of the first of ten plagues that would eventually lead to Israel’s deliverance.
We enjoyed fresh tilapia for lunch!
A short distance upstream, we took a boat ride at the Bujagali Falls. The cataracts were a picture of God’s grace that seemed to flow all around us and the current of His love that carried us to this place.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,vast, unmeasured, boundless, free;
rolling as a mighty ocean in its fulness over me.
Underneath me, all around me is the current of Thy love,
leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above.
