"The Lord God is my help, therefore, I am not disgraced" (Isaiah 50:4). Ever get into a situation where you feel absolutely humiliated? Maybe it was something you did, something someone said about you, or your eyes were opened to something that you are ashamed. Whatever the case, you come to a point of feeling disgraced. Many times it is undeserving. What do you do? Many of us go to being shamed. But what we are reminded of in today's first reading is that the Lord is there with you and so you shouldn't take on the shame and disgrace. We need to focus on the fact that God is our help, not the feelings of shame.
