Let us make the wisest decision; it consists of trusting in God, especially when those difficult moments arise. God will give us the strength and ability to overcome.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23

Perhaps we have sometimes fallen into considering the characters in the Bible as sublime or unattainable, as if they were in a very special category. We think and talk about them as if they were some kind of superheroes, but the reality is that they were people just like us.
We see that the disciples and other characters in the Bible experienced complex situations, persecution, loneliness, etc. as they carried out their calling. Even so, they clung to what God had promised them and kept going. This is why David could write the following: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me."
Both the men and women described in the Bible were totally convinced that they were acting according to what God had instructed them to do, and this gave them great courage, and they became unwavering before men, even when they were weak and vulnerable. We too are being used by God today, doing His work in the world. Even if we don't receive recognition or face any kind of persecution, we can be absolutely sure that God will always be with us, giving us all the power and strength to fulfill His purpose.
Through the word of God, we obtain the inheritance of these biblical figures, which consists of the trust and great courage to follow the Lord even when obedience is very difficult. In these figures, we see that even though we are fallible and sinful human beings, God places in us a responsibility and a privilege that allows us to serve Him by carrying His work everywhere.
