One young man, a heroic teen, saved an opposing player’s life during a basketball game and is giving Gold the glory. Without even thinking about it, the young man immediately went to work using his skills and know-how to save another teenager’s life. Watch the video to hear about the heroic moment and see their moving reunion.

Life is precious and incredibly fragile. It’s a gift from the good Lord above that must be cherished and handled with the utmost care. None of us are promised tomorrow, the next hour, minute or second. A loved one could be here one moment and gone the next.

A short but powerful clip posted on YouTube reminds us just how precious life truly is. During a high school basketball game in Oklahoma, 16-year-old Randy Vitales, right after scoring a lay-up, a mere three minutes into the game, collapsed and fell to the floor. He had gone into cardiac arrest. Despite the frightening scene, God had placed the right person in the right place at the right time.

Magnus Miller, a member of the opposing team, immediately stopped and got to work, trying to save Randy’s life. According to the video, Magnus is a trained lifeguard who started using his life-saving skills and knowledge.

“I didn’t have any, like, second thoughts,” he said. “I just jumped right in, took control.”

The 18-year-old hero and Randy reunited in a hospital room. It was an emotional moment. Tears were shed, and the two shared a loving embrace.

“There’s no way you were going to die on that court; I wasn’t going to let you,” Magnus told Randy before giving him a big hug.

Despite his heroic, literal life-saving actions, Magnus does not take the credit. Instead, he gives all the glory to God.

“It’s pretty surreal,” Magnus said. “It’s weird, like, hearing someone say that, ‘You saved his life.’ But honestly, it wasn’t me. It was really God just being there for me and being there for him. Obviously, I didn’t go there to play basketball that day.”

Philippians 2:13 “For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”
