Joshua 5:9 ERV
Then the LORD said to Joshua, “You were slaves in Egypt, and this made you ashamed. But today I have taken away that shame.” So Joshua named that place Gilgal. And that place is still named Gilgal today.

Any painful sensation excited by a consciousness of guilt or impropriety, or of having done something which injures your reputation, or of the exposure of that thing which nature or modesty prompts us to conceal is what is known as shame.
Shame is something we feel for the actions we have done, actions done by those associated with us, or for actions done to us. Shame creates a barrier in our lives. Our shame prevents us from acting boldly and living in the defeat of past failures.
The reproach of Egypt—Their uncircumcised made them like the uncircumcised Egyptians, and the Hebrews ever considered all those who were uncircumcised as being in a state of the grossest impurity. Being now circumcised, the reproach of the uncircumcision was rolled away.
What has caused your shame? Do you have a shame-based life? Are you rooted or grounded in shame? Isaiah 54:4 says that the Lord has promised to remove the shame and dishonour from us so that we don’t remember it anymore. God further down in Isaiah 61:7 promises to pour out upon us a twofold blessing to overcome every spirit of shame. That promises are that we will possess double what we have lost, and we will have everlasting joy.
We may have lived the kind of life that induced shame but in and through the word of God, we become shame-proof.
We may suffer physically, be embarrassed and dishonoured by our conduct, be derided because of who we are or where from, we may suffer ignominy and contempt for whatever reason but when we take a stand on the Word of God, become rooted and grounded in God’s love, we become complete in Him.
Many Christians feel that they are pathetic; they bring reproach upon themselves by accepting the world’s view of themselves. God seeks to motivate us through divine grace—not through sin’s disgrace, John 3:17. God’s grace is not extended to us because we are pathetic, but because of his gracious love. Men may remind us, show us and recount our shame but Jesus covers our shame.
Some use religion to make others feel pathetic. The enemy wants to enslave us with humiliation and reproach. We are no longer slaves to sin; we cannot continue to serve sin without denying our new identity in Christ. As we think about the kind of self-image our shame and guilt project for us, we must understand that God looks at us through the righteousness of Christ.
According to 2 Corinthians 4:2, when we come to Christ, we renounce and disclaim the hidden things of dishonesty, things of shame; those things which the wicked do, which they are ashamed to have known and ashamed to own by the manifestation of the truth of God—an open acknowledgement of what we know to be the truth of the word that conceals nothing, but that we are made “shame-proof” only by the Spirit of God.
The Lord not only promises to roll away our reproach but to afflict our persecutors with punishment in Zephaniah 3:19 and fight whatever oppresses us by turning the shame back on our oppressors and accusers. No more shame, you’ve been made shame-proof in Christ. Allow the reproach to be rolled off.
Shalom
