Two men went fishing. One 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 the 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 too throw back the big plans, big dreams, big jobs, big opportunities that God gives us. Why?
Because our faith is too small.
We may laugh at that fisherman who did not 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 us anything bigger than what we can handle. That means we can confidently walk into anything God brings our way.
Remember, we can do all things through our loving God..nothing is too big for Him!
So from this moment, let us stop telling God that we have got big
problems. Instead let us tell our problems that we have a BIG GOD
