USED BY GOD

When the pilot of a Cessna 208 traveling from the Bahamas to Florida became incoherent and fell against the controls, one of the passengers, Darren Harrison, radioed traffic control for help. Darren wasn't a pilot, but suddenly he was responsible for flying and landing the plane.

Thankfully, one of the air traffic controllers was also a flight instructor and calmly helped him safely land the plane. The air traffic controller & anticipate walking someone through how to land a plane when he arrived at work that day, but was "in the right place at the right time."

Whatever God has for you today, whether it's teaching children or running errands, He has placed you exactly where He wants you to be. You are "in the right place at the right time" to make a difference for Him through your words and actions. You never know how or when He will use you to encourage or help those around you. Be ready to be used by Him today!
