A Bigger Frying Pan

Encouragement For May 25:
A
Bigger Frying Pan
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.
“There
hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is
faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are
able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye
may be able to bear it.”
- 1 Corinthians 10:13.
