Provision, Not Exemption
Commentators clarify this verse isn't a promise to escape hardship, but to be sustained through it. To not be 'ashamed' means not being disappointed; God will meet the needs of His people. John Calvin explains that believers may face the same famines as others, but they will be 'satisfied' with a divine provision and peace that transcends their circumstances.
