[From: Today]
[H955]
=shame
(954)
=put to shame
=be ashamed
=disappointed
=act shamefully
=delayed .. long
=confounded
Today's Word quickly brought back my grandmother's stern reminder:
"Don't bring shame."
That is all she said
...but it was enough to understand that bringing shame .. was about bringing pain.
We don't hear warnings very often anymore about "shame".. as the world no longer values integrity as it once did.
So I realized as this Word was given to me today that it was something our Father wanted to bring to our attention
...perhaps one more time
...perhaps for the last time.
While H955 was just one Word .. it amazingly led me to 109 verses through the related number H954.
Some of these verses refer to God's very serious warnings regarding how shame can be considered in reverse:
...that bringing pain .. was also the result of bringing shame
...one of those "alpha and omega" views God likes to use to bring important lessons in a way we won't easily forget.
109 verses means that the topic of "shame" is way more important than we might think at first.
While all verses are not going to be considered here .. since some bring duplicated messages .. it was discovered that there seems to be two categories that can be considered:
1..Warnings
2..Important prayers
The following is a list of both topics as they appear chronologically in Scripture .. which are listed with biblical reference to study later in more detail .. if you wish .. but listed here condensed with the basic warning or prayer for your initial consideration:
(Ezr.8:22)
..Enemy realizes protective hand of God is upon God's people
..but power and wrath of God are against those who forsake God
..they are the "God-forsaken" ones
(Ezr.9:6)
..ashamed because of sin
(Job 6:20)
..confounded and ashamed
(Job 19:30)
..should be ashamed because of inappropriate behaviour
(Ps.6:10)
..[Pray]..for enemies to be ashamed and vexed suddenly.
(Ps.14:4-6)
..shame=disappointment
..The poor are disappointed because they believed they would be helped .. but instead the wicked workers of iniquity took what little they had and drained the life out of them.
(Ps.22:5)
.. Nevertheless .. throughout history God's people were delivered and not confounded or disappointed.
(Ps.25:2-3)
..[Pray]..proclaim trust in God .. request that we will not be ashamed .. that enemies will not triumph over us .. that none that wait on God will be ashamed .. but those that attack without a cause will be the ones ashamed.
(Ps.35:4)
..[Pray]..Father, confound and shame those that seek the destruction of God's people and confuse their plans to do harm.
(Ps.35:26)
..[Pray]..Let shame..confusion..and dishonor come to those who find pleasure in hurting others .. that rise up against God's people.
(Ps.37:19)
.. Those who do what is right .. even in time of famine .. God will provide for .. but the wicked will perish.
(Ps.40:14)
..[Pray]..Let those who seek to destroy God's people be driven back in shame.
(Ps.53:5)
..God puts fear in the hearts of those .. who surround God's people to attack them .. bringing shame upon them.
(Ps.71:13)
..[Pray]..that adversaries that attempt to hurt God's people .. will be covered with dishonor and shame.
(71:24)..Then we will magnify God's righteousness .. continually as He always does what is right .. by bringing shame to those who seek to hurt others.
(Ps.97:7)
..Those who worship idols (things of this world) instead of God .. will be confounded (publicaly put to shame).
(Ps.119:7)
..If we follow God's Word .. we will never be ashamed.
(Prov.10:5)
..Being lazy .. causes shame.
(Prov.19:26)
..Those who only take from parents .. but do not help them .. will become a shame and reproach.

Wow!!
My grandmother's simple warning about "shame" carried a huge message from the Word of God.
