High hopes

Why does this ant have such high hopes, is it part of his DNA? is that how we are?

is it who he is?

does he not know better? Do we feel like that?

Was he not told that he can only do what is expected of him? how do we know we are meant for so much more?

Be not dismayed; for I am thy God:

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;

Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

A. Fear thou not - This verse is plain in its meaning, and is full of consolation. It is to be regarded as addressed primarily to the exiled Jews during their long and painful captivity in Babylon; and the idea is, that they who had been selected by God to be his special people had nothing to fear. But the promise is one that may be regarded as addressed to all his people in similar circumstances, and it is as true now as it was then, that those whom God has chosen have nothing to fear.

Do not Anxiously look about you (NASB)

Do not be confused

High Hopes -God is With US

(NASB95)

28 Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. (KJV) There is no searching of his understanding

A. Hast thou not heard? - From the traditions of the fathers; the instruction which you have received from ancient times. A large part of the knowledge of the Jews was traditionary; and these attributes of God, as a faithful God, had, no doubt, constituted an important part of the knowledge which had thus been communicated to them.

His understanding is inscrutable.

29 He gives strength to the weary, And to him who lacks might He increases power.

A. The design of this verse is to give consolation to the afflicted and down-trodden people in Babylon, by recalling to their minds the truth that it was one of the characteristics of God that he ministered strength to those who were conscious of their own feebleness, and who looked to him for support. It is a truth, however, as applicable to us as to theresa truth inestimably precious to those who feel that they are weak and feeble, and who look to God for aid.

And to him who lacks might He increases power.

30 Though youths grow weary and tired, And vigorous young men stumble badly, He is an Awesome and Powerful God he never tire and never goes weak.

A. The meaning is, that the most chosen or select of the human family - the most vigorous and manly, must be worn down by fatigue, or paralyzed by sickness or death; but that the powers of God never grow weary, and that those who trust in him should never become faint.

And vigorous young men stumble badly,

He is an Awesome and Powerful God he never tire and never goes weak.

High Hopes- Wait on God

Yet those who wait for the Lord

31 Yet those who wait for the Lord

Will gain new strength;

They will mount up with wings like eagles,

They will run and not get tired,

They will walk and not become weary.

In the king Jame sit says” renew”

They shall put forth fresh feathers as eagles” are said to renovate themselves; the parallel clause, “renew their strength,” confirms this. The eagle was thought to moult and renew his feathers, and with them his strength, in old age.

Jamieson, R., Fausset, A. R., & Brown, D. (1997). Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (Vol. 1, p. 475). Oak Harbor, WA: Logos Research Systems, Inc.

A. that they who trust in God would be vigorous, elevated, unwearied; that he would sustain and uphold them; and that in his service they would never faint. This was at first designed to be applied to the Jews in captivity in Babylon to induce them to put their trust in God. But it is as true now as it was at that time. It has been found in the experience of thousands and tens of thousands, that by waiting on the Lord the heart has been invigorated; the faith has been confirmed; and the affections have been raised above the world.

who likes to Wait??? be patient?

When we are afraid of the unknown or the unexpected we tend to not wait or are not patient at all we try to hurry through just to get through it. but thats not what god wants from us. (NASB95)

High Hopes or Just No Expectations

Fear thou not; for I am with thee:

Be not dismayed; for I am thy God:

I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee;

Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

B. For I am thy God - I am able to preserve and strengthen thee. The God of heaven was their God; and as he had all power, and that power was pledged for their protection, they had nothing to fear.

I will uphold thee - I will enable you to bear all your trials.

With the right hand of my righteousness - With my faithful right hand. The phrase is a Hebrew mode of expression, meaning that God's hand was faithful, that it might be relied on, and would secure them.

My version of the song

Just what makes that christian person

think he can do what jesus determines

anyone know a christian can’t

Get rid of his past

But he ‘s got high hopes , hes got high hopes,

hes got Gods grace in the heart hope.

So any time your felling low

stead of letting go

Just remember that God Can!

opps the goes another problem solved.
