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?"
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 4:13
Nothing is too big for God.
REMEMBER:
Stop telling God you've got big problems.
Tell your problems you've got a BIG GOD!

Note from Adelle:
Some people have difficulty with the statement
that God will never give you more than you can handle.
I, personally, find it much easier to accept
major challenges knowing God will never give me more
than what I cannot overcome with His help!
