Lost: The Five C's
First Published August 15, 2014
With the incredible amount of technology available today, pilots can still get lost. Equipment failure, unfamiliar terrain, disorientation, clouds and mist, and human error are all ways that can contribute to a pilot getting lost. The acronym to help remember a wise procedure for getting found is called the “Five C’s.”
Psalms 46:10
Cease striving and know that I am God.
CALM – Realize that you are not going in the correct direction. Be Still. You are lost, but you know what to do…
***
Proverbs 3:7
Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.
CLIMB – Get to a better vantage point so you can see the situation.
***
Matthew 6:9
“Pray, then, in this way: “Our Father who is in heaven, Hollowed be Your name.”
COMMUNICATE – Transmit who you are (plane identifier) and last known position to ATC (Air Traffic Control).
***
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
CONFESS – Admit your predicament.
***
Mark 8:34
…And (He) said to them, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
COMPLY – Follow the instructions from the air traffic authority.
***
Thank you Lord, acronyms and mnemonic devices help me to remember your wisdom. I pray they are much more than just cute little sayings; that when I become lost, they will help me physically and spiritually to become found again.
