Daniel 14:38
38 Daniel gave thanks to God, saying, “You have remembered me, O God, and have not forsaken those who love you.” 39 Daniel ate, and the Lord’s angel returned Habakkuk to his own place.
Ezekiel 9:3-6
3 Then the Glory of the God of Israel rose from the cherubim where it rested and went to the threshold of the house. Yahweh called to the man clothed in linen who had the material for writing at his side, 4 and he said to him, “Pass through the center of the city, through Jerusalem, and trace a cross on the forehead of the men who sigh and groan because of all the abominations committed in it.”
5 I heard him say to the others, “Now you may pass through the city after him and strike. Your eyes shall not look with pity; show no mercy! Do away with them all – 6 old men, young men, virgins, children and women – but do not touch anyone marked with a cross.”
And as they were told to begin with the sanctuary, they struck the elders who were in front of the Temple.
Beloved when You look at the evil that has engulfed Your world and its people, do You feel exactly as You did when You spoke to the Prophet Ezekiel? Are all the natural and man-made calamities a sign that Your hand is raised against us?
In Genesis 19:32 we are told that God would not destroy the city if 10 righteous men could be found.
Are the prayers of the remnant able to prevent the destruction of the whole world?
Psalm 113:5-6
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
who sits enthroned on high,
6 but also bends down to see
on earth as in heaven?
These verses remind us that You watch over the world all the time. We are always in Your sight. What a comforting thought my Lord.
Matthew 18:18-20
18 I say to you: whatever you bind on earth, heaven will keep bound; and whatever you unbind on earth, heaven will keep unbound.
19 In like manner, I say to you: if on earth two of you are united in asking for anything, it will be granted to you by my heavenly Father. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my Name, I am there among them.”
In the Gospel we are told that You gave divine power to Your Church and to Peter and his successors. You have also said if on earth two agree in asking for anything in Your Name it will be granted.
