The Syrian host came by night,
Dothan surrounded round about,
Warriors, horses and chariots,
Elisha's servant has some doubts,

Alas, my master! How shall we do? 
Was his fearful reply
Elisha prays to God 
and God opens the young mans eyes 

A mountains full of protection,
For Elisha was then seen, (II Kings 6:14-18)
Thank God for His protection
When his people are in need

"Increase our faith"
The apostles told our Lord, (Luke 17:5)
"If ye had faith..." (Luke 17:6)
Began Jesus' words

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, 
The evidence of things unseen, (Hebrews 11:1)
The waters wouldn't have parted for Moses, ( Exodus 14:21)
Had he not truly believed, (Hebrews 11:27)

Things seen are not made,
Of the things which do appear, (Hebrews 11:3)
Hope that is seen, is not hope (Romans 8:24)
Serve Him with reverence and godly fear (Hebrews 12:28)

II Kings  6:14-18 
 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about. 

 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? 

 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 

 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 

Luke 17:5
And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

Luke 17:6
And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. 


Hebrews 11:1-3
 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 

 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 

 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 


Romans 8:24
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Hebrews 12:28
Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

Exodus 14:21
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 

Hebrews 11:27
By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible
