Isaiah 50:6-8

“I followed orders, stood there and took it while they beat me, held steady while they pulled out my beard, Didn't dodge their insults, faced them as they spit in my face. And the Master, God, stays right there and helps me, so I'm not disgraced.  Therefore I set my face like flint, confident that I'll never regret this. My champion is right here. Let's take our stand together!”

Ever felt insulted or embarrassed for standing up for what you believe in? It’s the easiest thing for people to do, make fun of you for something that they disagree with or don’t believe in themselves. The important thing to notice is, how do you react to their demeaning behavior?
It may be tempting to get upset, become angry, or even feel depressed when things like that happen. But in times like these, we have to remember who’s on our side and standing with us when all of those insults are being hurled. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Because God is with us, we can stand firm and even proud when people belittle us. So, don’t feel embarrassed, don’t feel disgraced. Like the author says, your champion is right here. TAKE YOUR STAND TOGETHER!!! :-)
