How many Christians would imitate the gesture of Elisha?

* Luís Alberto Alves

How many Christians today would imitate the gesture of the prophet Elisha, as narrated in 2 Kings chapter 6, when the Aramean Army was sent to Israel to kill him? Giasin, the boy who walked with him came in terrified at home fearing for the life of his master.

Elisha, trusting in God, asked the young man to remain calm, for greater was what was in the heart, soul and spirit, than the soldiers of the enemy. He ordered Giasin to look again at the men who had been assigned to take their lives.

The scene contemplated by Giasin marveled him as he saw horses and chariots of fire from the angels of the Lord sent by God to protect them from the fury of evil. Minutes later, all the enemy's soldiers lost sight of a request from Elisha made to God.

Today the same situation is repeated. But with different scenarios, but causing fear and sadness in those who trust in God, but only when the bank account is full of money and plenty is reality in their homes.
