I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
(Philippians 4:13, NAS)
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 experienced fisherman replied, "I only have a small frying pan."
Sometimes, like that fisherman, we throw back the big plans, big
dreams, big jobs, or 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!
