BIG Problems?
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, big
dreams, big jobs, 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
Stop telling God you've got big problems.
Tell your problems you've got a BIG GOD!
