This picture reminds me of a funny joke I once heard. There were three missionaries at the bank of a flooded river they needed to cross. At the bank of the river the first missionary knelt down and prayed asking the Lord to give to him the necessary strength to cross the river, instantly his arms popped out with big muscles and he dove into the river. He swam and swam against the strong current almost drowning three times, but finally reached the other side.
The second missionary watching this thought, I need to do better than the first missionary seeing how he almost drowned three times before he reaching the other side. So he knelt down at the bank of the river and prayed. He said Lord, give me the strength and the tools I need to cross this river. Instantly his arms popped out with big muscles; and to his amazement a row boat with oars inside floated up to the bank of the river. The missionary climbed safely inside and rowed with all of
his might, when suddenly about half way across the river he almost capsized and drowned. Finally after much fatigue from the hard rowing he reached the other side.
The third missionary watching all of this, said to himself, I have got to do better than those two, they almost drowned. So the third missionary knelt down at the bank of the river and prayed; saying: Lord give me the wisdom I need to cross this river, instantly he was changed into a woman who then reached into her pocket and pulled out a map which showed a bridge fifty yards up stream. She then proceeded to follow the map to the bridge and safely crossed over to the other side......... If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him....James 1:5
