Why does God give us promises?

When I prioritize God with my life the benefits are not just for the world around me, they are also for me.

God wants us to have a full and abundant life.
John 10:10

God does immeasurably more.

Ephesians 3:14-21 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen

Ways God protects, cares, and enlarges our lives.

Series: Beyond; Title: Beyond Our Imagination

If God could use you and/or your family in powerful ways, what would be your dream?
What gets in the way of that dream being a reality? What fear? What circumstances?
How does concern for living well day to day, planning for the future, kids, spouse, jobs etc., keep you from full availability for God? How could all of this be included in your availability for God?
What do the following passages say about our ability to know or understand the fullness of God’s work through our lives completely submitted to Him?
Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord.
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways And My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Job 11:7-8 Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty? 8 It is higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?
Romans 11:33-36 Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! 34 “For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who has been his counselor?” 35 “Or who has given a gift to him that he might be repaid?” 36 For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen
