Some firefighters went above and beyond the call of duty when they assisted a disabled woman, carrying her up several flights of stairs.

Firefighters and police officers are some of society's most selfless, caring and dedicated people. Those men and women consistently put their personal safety on the line for the good of others. When most people are running from a dangerous, deadly scene, firefighters and police officers run toward it. 

In a video posted on TikTok, Fort Lauderdale, Florida Fire Department members helped a woman paralyzed from the waist down by carrying her up 13 flights of stairs. Text in the video pops up and states what is happening in the short clip. 

“POV: You’re paralyzed & stuck on floor 31 so the fire department rescues you,” the text reads. 

One of the firefighters carries the disabled woman on his back while a second man pulls along her wheelchair. 

In the video, as they continue to make their way up the stairs, a firefighter states, “This is why we train.”

Despite the firefighter's answer, the woman understands the situation is unusual. In the clip, she checks in on the man carrying her. She asked him whether she was choking him or not.

“A little bit,” the firefighter answered.

The woman explained the predicament in a follow-up video. She stated that in her apartment building, there was a flood on a floor below her, which put the elevators out of commission. She needed to get to an elevator in order to get out of the building. 

“I either had to get to floor 44 or floor 8 to cross over to the other side of the building. That way I can take the elevator down and get out of there,” she said.

She added that the men took turns carrying her, switching halfway through their journey up the 13 flights of stairs. 

Galatians 6:2 “Take on yourselves one another’s troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.”

One man who had purchased tickets to a Johnny Cash concert was too sick to go, so the Man in Black brought the music to him.

Life is a series of unexpected twists and turns, sometimes arriving in places we never ever imagined. Unfortunately, sickness and diseases are often included in that journey. It’s a sad, tragic part of life. 

It was because of one fan’s unexpected cancer diagnosis that resulted in legendary country musician Johnny Cash visiting a fan in the hospital. 

As the video explains, Keith Flemming, an Australian man, had purchased tickets to see The Highwaymen in concert. Keith had every intention of going to see the supergroup but, unfortunately, was unable to make it to the show. 

Keith was diagnosed with lung cancer and being critically ill could not leave his hospital room to see the group, which included Johnny Cash. So, understanding the situation and knowing that Keith was a massive fan of Johnny’s, the “I Walk the Line” singer went to Keith.

Prior to the visit to see Keith, the video states that Johnny’s mother had passed away a few short months earlier, also from lung cancer. 

In the clip, Johnny introduces himself, shakes Keith’s hand and asks him how he’s doing. Johnny then leans over and gives the dying man a kiss on the cheek. 

Johnny then tells Keith that his absence at his concert was noticeable.

“Sorry you couldn’t make the show,” Johnny says. “We missed ya.”

But Johnny’s loving words weren’t the only ways he showed the sick man kindness. Johnny even put on a private concert for Keith, singing a couple of songs for him.

Johnny’s kind act and touching words likely meant the world to Keith and his family.

Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

You don’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime, awe-inspiring moment! Three humpback whales are captured on camera in a synchronized rare triple breach jump! 

When we think of sea life, we think of the depth of the ocean, blue churning waters, and its inhabitants. The ocean and its creatures remain mysterious but of all the animals in the deep blue sea, whales leave us in awe. I don’t know if you’ve ever been out in the ocean and managed to witness a whale breaching the surface. The sight absolutely humbles you and reminds you there is a Creator.

It’s incredible to learn humpback whales swim 16,000 miles between their feed and breeding grounds, all the while capturing our fascination during their worldwide travels. God smiled down upon one man who managed to capture a rare sighting of humpback whales dancing in the ocean. 

In this viral video, we get to witness the absolutely rare splendor of three whales in a triple breach. Or whale ballet if you’d rather define this spectacular moment that way. 

In the video, three whales rise out of the water in unison as they surge upwards while doing a full rotation before gracefully swimming up under. The man who captured this incredibly rare moment will definitely remember it for a lifetime, and he will always have one whale of a tale to tell. 

This incredible sighting reminds me of God and all of his creation. Every creature has its proper environment where its meant to flourish. The Good Book reminds us that if we abide in Christ, he will abide in us, causing us to flourish. When we bloom where we’re planted, I imagine God is in awe of us too. 

“And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good,” Genesis 1:21.

Olga Korbut, a former gymnast, pulled off an unbelievable and astounding move during the 1972 Olympics, which has since been banned from the sport.

It’s abundantly clear that gymnasts, regardless of gender, are some of the world’s best athletes. The way in which they move, contort and spin their bodies is staggering and mind-blowing. To be a top-level gymnast requires loads of skill, strength, balance and athleticism. All of that is in addition to the single-minded dedication and the thousands of hours full of intense, focused practice. 

Gymnasts have been wowing spectators for some time now with their stupefying and unbelievable moves, including Olga Korbut. In a clip posted on YouTube, Olga pulls off a move that has since been banned, the “dead loop.”

The clip is a compilation of Olga’s performance at the Olympic games in Munich, Germany. It shows the young woman, who was only 17, performing a routine on the balance beam, the uneven bars and a floor exercise.

The early portion of the clip showcases Olga’s performance on the uneven bars, where she performs the “dead loop.” The young woman begins her routine by building up speed and momentum, swinging on the smallest bar. She then propels herself backward and catches onto the higher bar. 

At approximately the 10-second mark, Olga begins the “dead loop.” She stands up on the highest bar, flips backward, grabs the highest bar on her way down and propels herself forward. She then slings herself forward and toward the lower bar. 

Then Olga swings onto the lower bar, spins around once and catapults herself backward, latching onto the higher bar. 

The move is done so quickly and with such precision and finesse that it’s hard to believe that it actually happened. It’s mesmerizing, and you don’t even have to be a gymnastics fan to appreciate the stunning move.

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not see that in a running competition, all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.”

A New Mexico State Police officer is a hero after rescuing a baby experiencing  problems breathing.

The men and women who work in law enforcement can encounter frightening scenes. Police officers are usually the first people on the scene during an emergency or immediately following one. 

That is what happened to New Mexico State Police officer Ismael Perez. He happened to be in the right place at the right time during an emergency and prevented it from being a fatal disaster.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Miguel Covarrubias hurriedly rushed his pregnant wife, who was in active labor, to the hospital when he caught the attention of police. Officer Perez spotted Miguel running a red light on his way to the emergency room. 

After Miguel and Officer Perez arrived near the front of the hospital’s entrance, the officer learned something was terribly wrong. The baby had been born in the car, but it was not breathing.

The clip mentions that during labor the baby boy’s umbilical cord had become “compressed.” That’s when Officer Perez sprang into action and utilized a maneuver. He began to pound on the child’s back, desperately trying to get the child to cry and breathe.

It eventually worked! In the video, the baby can be heard crying.

“I have three kids of my own,” Officer Perez said. “So, I’ve seen the doctors do that with my daughters because they came out of the womb the same way, not crying or anything. So, I did the same thing.”

Miguel said he was terrified at that moment, but was grateful for Officer Perez’s quick-thinking. 

The video also mentions that all three – Miguel, the baby boy and the mother – are doing fine. 

Psalm 82:3-4 “Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without father; let those who are in troubled and in need have their rights. Be the savior of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of evildoers.”

A man in his mid-60s was finally able to properly celebrate his graduation from high school nearly 50 years after the fact.

No two people are the same. This is especially true when it comes to the classroom. Everyone learns in different ways and at various speeds. Some people can grasp and understand concepts with lightning-quick speed. Others may require more time, patience and understanding to comprehend a new thought or idea.

In a clip posted on YouTube, one man received a high school graduation ceremony after he missed his first one 47 years earlier.

The text in the video explains that as a teenager, Bishop Samuel Jones Jr. missed out on taking part in his high school graduation ceremony by a single point. His grade in a pre-algebra class was too low to walk across the stage and accept his high school diploma.

“I never got a heads up from any of my teachers, or from anyone [in school] that it was not gonna go in my favor,” a quote from Bishop Samuel Jones Jr. reads.

However, despite that initial setback, the video states that Jones, with a small amount of tutoring and extra time, was able to pass the class. He did eventually receive his diploma but never walked across the stage to get that piece of paper.

But Bishop Samuel Jones Jr.’s wife corrected that and surprised him with a ceremony celebrating his graduation from high school. In the clip, he enters the room blindfolded and is quickly dressed in a cap and gown.

Many of his close friends and family members are seated throughout the room, ready for the surprise ceremony.

The crowd erupts with thunderous applause as the blindfold is removed from his eyes.

What a beautiful ceremony. It's an example of love and kindness from all involved who helped to celebrate his educational accomplishment. 

Hosea 4:6 “Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up on knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.”

The reappearance of her daughter was too much for one woman to take as she momentarily fainted, unable to withstand the surprise.

Parents want nothing more than for their children to succeed and be happy. There is not much that any mother or father would not do if it meant a better life for their child. However, as all parents understand, children grow and eventually move out, creating a life of their own.

This means parents may not see their children as much as they’d like. Circumstances in a grown child’s life may take them several hundred, even thousands of miles away from their mom and dad. While parents know that children must be able to live their lives as they see fit, it doesn’t mean that parents enjoy being away from their offspring.

A short video posted on YouTube shows how much a woman missed her grown-up daughter. The 40-second clip, recorded in the Philippines, begins with a woman standing silently and unexpectedly at the back of an opened van.

Behind the woman, the van is decorated, complete with gold and green balloons and lettering that indicates that this is a birthday celebration. But then something unexpected happens right behind the woman with her back to the vehicle.

The vehicle’s front passenger side door swings open, and a young woman who wears a hat and a face mask and carries a bouquet of flowers emerges. 

Text in the video points out that the woman with the flowers is the daughter of the woman waiting near the vehicle. They have not seen one another for four years. The younger woman has been away, working abroad.

Once the young woman reaches her mother, the emotions are instant. The mother bursts into tears as she collapses into her daughter for a hug before passing out from shock and surprise. They both fall to the ground.

The video concludes with the two of them standing back up, but with mom never letting go of her daughter.

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

Check out this video of Christian singer Anne Wilson sharing her testimony of faith during the most difficult time in her life.

Anne Wilson unexpectedly lost her older brother back in 2017 to a horrific car accident, and she remembers God speaking to her right after her father shared with her the tragic news. 

“I’ll never forget that moment,” she shares. “I’ll never forget that pain and the shock factor of that…it was just so sad and awful. But right after that, I remember hearing the voice of God speak to me very clearly and He said, ‘Anne, are you going to trust me or are you not?’ And when I heard his voice, I remember thinking to myself, ‘I have to make a decision right now in this moment. Am I going to trust God or am I going to lean on my own understanding to get through this whole journey?’ So I turned around right after my dad had just told me he passed away. I faced the doors in that room and I said, ‘Jesus, I trust you.’ In that moment, it was so crazy. This big weight just lifted off of my shoulders that I had been carrying. And I felt this peace.”

Anne continues: “I knew that I was going to be able to get through this tragedy, that God was going to give me what I needed to push through. And even though I just found out that my brother had passed away, I had this peace that was just passing understanding, and it was just so amazing. I’ll never forget that feeling.”

It was at her brother’s funeral that God gave her the strength and courage to perform in front of an audience for the first time. She discovered her voice during this emotional and heartfelt performance, and after that experience, God has been using Anne Wilson and her musical talents to share music with others that resonates so deeply.

What an amazing testimony from Anne Wilson that shows how her faith has helped her find peace and hope in difficult times.

A woman and her young daughter felt so moved during a street musician’s performance that they fell to their knees and began praising the Lord in public.

Those lucky enough to become parents have been given a monumental task and responsibility. They have literally been entrusted with raising and teaching the next generation. Children, who are eager to learn, are always watching and listening to their parent’s words and actions. How parents act and what they say will have a big impact on their child’s development and life.

A clip posted on YouTube shows how a mother is using her influence to teach her young child how important it is to praise and thank the Lord. The short video shows a mom and her little girl on the side of the street as a musician can be heard playing in the distance, off camera. 

While it’s unclear who is performing, there is no question as to what song is being played. The mother and her child are listening to “Way Maker.” 

As the song plays, the mother is down on her knees, with her right hand raised in the air, praising the Lord. In the mother’s left hand is a cell phone, which she looks to be filming her little girl, sitting on a bench right in front of her. The little girl, emulating her mother, also has her hand raised, signaling praise for God.

Both praise the Lord as several other people on the other side of the street can be seen. Neither of them is letting the fact that they are in public stop them from praising the Lord. 

This mother, by her actions, is demonstrating to her little girl how important it is to praise and thank the Lord, regardless of the location and what others may say or think.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go, and even when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Check out this powerful rendition of Psalm 46 which will remind you of God’s endless and overwhelming love.

1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. 4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.   Psalm 46: 1-4

In the video, you see stunning scenes of nature and hear enchanting music in the background while Pastor Tharren Thompson recites Psalm 46 aloud. Taryn Harbridge is the one responsible for putting this video together and shooting the scenes as well as adding the music and audio.

“I do covers of Christian hymns, compose my own music, and make music videos to go with them,” writes Taryn on her YouTube page. “My ultimate goal in making music videos is to glorify God, encourage and uplift the body of Christ, and to share the Good News of the gospel with the world. I hope you enjoy the videos on my channel and that they are an encouragement to you!”

At the start of this Psalm, the writer begins with talking about God’s provision. He shares about how he looks to God for help in difficult times and found it. What a great reminder for us all!

“This video is really wonderfully made, Taryn! The footage, music, and words fit together perfectly and convey the sheer power of God,” comments one person on YouTube after watching the video.

“Such a powerful video that truly exalts and honors our Awesome God! Splendid job with the arrangement and videography, Taryn! The storm footage is amazing and the wide format feels truly cinematic,” writes another person online.

We hope that this wonderful video was an encouragement today as you reflected on the words in Psalm 46.
