Two men went fishing. One man was an experienced fisherman, the
other wasn't. Every time the experienced fisherman caught a big
fish, he put it in his ice chest to keep it fresh. Whenever the
inexperienced fisherman caught a big fish, he threw it back.
The experienced fisherman watched this go on all day and finally
got tired of seeing this man waste good fish. "Why do you keep
throwing back all the big fish you catch?" he asked. The
inexperienced fisherman replied, "I only have a small frying
pan."
Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throw back the big plans, the
big dreams, the big jobs and the big opportunities that God gives
us. Our faith is too small. We laugh at that fisherman who didn't
figure out that all he needed was a bigger frying pan; yet how
ready are we to increase the size of our faith?
Whether it's a problem or a possibility, God will never give you
anything bigger than you can handle. That means we can confidently
walk into anything God brings our way.
You can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13). Nothing is
too big for God.
" Stop telling God you've got big problems. Tell your problems
you've got a big God!"
