Right place right time

Driving back to canton yesterday in a crazy storm a pickup truck headed the opposite direction started hydroplaning across the road.  If the truck comes into my lane it's a head on collision and I've got no where to go.  But instead it goes off in the grass as it passes me and falls down a steep embankment.  It was one of those times where no other car was around and I was the only one that saw it happen.  I turned my car around as quick as I could cutting off the other traffic that came around the corner and pulled over.  I tried signaling for help but they all just looked at me like I was crazy b/c you couldn't see the truck unless you were looking down the hill for it.  
So I grabbed my phone and headed down the hill.  I couldn't see in the truck b/c of all the smoke from the air bags and of course the door was locked.  But just as I was about to bust out a window an old persons arm banged against the window and was trying to unlock it.  It finally got unlocked and there was this 70 plus yr old woman with cuts on her arms and frazzled as can be.  Thankfully another guy saw me down there and came to help.  
It was one of those crazy times that if I had not been there she could have been down there for hours before any one saw her.  Because if you weren't looking for a car down this hill in the woods you never would of known.  
As I was driving home thinking about it, I thanked God that He allowed me to be there at the right time to help her.  But then I realized something so much greater.  The Bible says in Luke 19 that the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.  There are lost people all over Flowery Branch and Hall county (ok their everywhere) and God has placed us and Reveal church their to seek out the lost and tell them about Christ.  We could go in and have our agenda and not keep an eye out for the needs of the community or the people that are their but rather we are going in with a plan to find the lost and tell them about Christ and help them with their needs.
What about you are you looking for the lost or just driving by with your agenda not looking for who God may have placed by you?
