How many Christians would imitate the gesture of Elisha? - 2

* Luís Alberto Alves

Perhaps the Army sent against you, my brother and sister, is the terrible unemployment, which in Brazil reaches 13, 2 million. People who no longer know what to do to put their daily bread in the house, nor how to pay the bills that pile up for lack of money.

This enemy acts strongly on the emotional. It overthrows esteem, fuels the bonfire of depression, apathy, sadness and causes diseases related to the nervous system. Every weekday, those without work bet on the change of scenery, which in some cases already lasts almost a year.

That's when Giasin gets up. It overthrows the will to go to services, to preach the Word, to evangelize or even to open the mouth to worship the Lord, who is worthy of all honor and glory. At this hour we look at the situation, not God.

It is hard for many to trust in Jesus Christ. They leave faith aside, they focus strength in the arm, in the human, not in the spiritual. Sometimes they ignore Elisha's pleas. They respond that he does not know the intensity of that struggle.
