You will not be ashamed

     My loving greetings to all in the incomparable name of Jesus Christ Almighty. I am thankful to my God who has guided us and our family throughout the past few days. May the Lord Himself guide you.

      Our Lord is good. He never leaves us nor forsakes us. He will never leave us ashamed. That’s why the Lord says in the prophetic book of Isaiah 54: 4, “Do not be afraid; you will not be put to shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.”

     Maybe there are moments when we feel ashamed. But instead of that shame our Lord will give a double reward. Instead of your shame will come double fruit, instead of money they will rejoice in their portion, for their sake they will have a double inheritance in their land, and theirs will be eternal happiness. And according to Zephaniah 3:19, At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you. I will rescue the lame; I will gather the exiles. I will give them praise and honour in every land where they have suffered shame.

May the Lord help us to learn something through the scriptures.

Who will not be ashamed?

1. Those who look to the Lord

Psalm 34: 5, Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

2. Those who believe in God

Isaiah 28: 16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.

3. The Lord’s people

Joel 2: 26, 27, You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will my people be shamed. Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the Lord your God, and that there is no other; never again will my people be shamed.

4. Those who look to the oaths of God.

Psalm 119: 6 Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands.

5. Those who wait on the Lord

Isaiah 49: 23 Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be disappointed.”

6. Those who have God as their partner

Isaiah 50: 7 Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore have I set my face like flint, and I know I will not be put to shame.

7. Those who cry out to God

Psalm 31: 17 Let me not be put to shame, Lord, for I have cried out to you; but let the wicked be put to shame and be silent in the realm of the dead.

If we become the above-mentioned people, our God who has the power to exalt, strengthen and honor anyone will surprise you without being ashamed anywhere.

May the Lord bless you according to these words.
