What can we do? ( 1 Kings 18 v 22 - 39 )

In Numbers 16 we read how the people rose in opposition to Moses and Aaron because God had punished those of the family of  Korah, for their rebellion.Now they were doing the self same thing., God was angry with them,and He told Moses He was going to deal with them,So He sent a plague upon them, Moses  told Aaron to take a censer ,put incense on it ,and burning coals from of the altar, and take it into the midst of the people.Thousands were dying ,Aaron did this and we read,'He stood between the living and the dead,and the plague stopped,14,700 had died of the plague.We are all living under the threat of a plague why it has come I don't know, God alone knows ,as Christians what can we do?. In Revelation 8 we read of an angel who had a censer with incense on it ,and we read that Gods people were praying ,and that the prayers of God's people,and the smoke of the incense ascended up to God, and then fire was cast down upon the earth.Torrance comments on this,'What are the real master - powers behind the world and what are the deeper secrets of our destiny? Here is  the astonishing answer; the prayer of the saints and the fire of God. That means that more potent, more powerful than all the dark and mighty powers let loose in the earth,is the power of prayer set ablaze by the fire of God and cast upon the earth' What can we do ,we can pray,and pray ,and pray.
