Heroic Officers Brave Flames to Rescue Elderly Woman from Burning House
God uses everyday people to do extraordinary things in life's most critical moments. We see this time and again in stories of courage and sacrifice. In this incredible story, heroic officers brave huge flames to rescue an elderly woman trapped in a burning house.
It was late at night when a passerby in Millburn, New Jersey, noticed a house going up in flames. They called 9-1-1, and the Millburn police arrived on the scene first. Two of the household members were able to make it through the flames to safety, but the 83-year-old grandmother was still trapped inside. Despite the intense heat and thick, suffocating smoke, two heroic officers acted without hesitation. Determined to find her, one of the officers crawled through the blaze, doing his best to avoid the flames and smoke. When he finally found her, he carried her through the inferno to safety. She was immediately given first aid as soon as they reached safety.
Can you imagine what would’ve happened if the officers had chosen to wait for the firefighters to arrive on the scene? This story might have turned tragic. The officers' courage and teamwork are a testament to the faith, courage, and purpose these officers had that night. It took less than five minutes for the officers to make a difference; they humbly credit this bravery to just doing their jobs. It’s clear God’s hand was at work, using their courage to save a life.
In moments like this, we catch a glimpse of God’s heart. He empowers us and uses our unique gifts and strengths, and then He equips us with what we need to make a difference in the lives of others. Sometimes He uniquely uses us in moments of danger or in moments of giving comfort. Other times, it’s in the small and steady acts of kindness we show others.
That’s the beauty of God’s grace and power as He uses us in His plans. We don’t have to be perfect or fearless like these heroic officers; we only need to be willing.
Joshua 1:9 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
