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 throwback 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 !
Love Ya, ~Barbara

Remember the disciples in the storm
The disciples learned some things through the storm that they might not have learned any other way
When Jesus asked, "Where is your faith?" He asked a good question. I don't know where their faith was but I know where it wasn't. Their faith may have been in the size of the boat, to withstand the storm. Their faith may have been in their ability to out-row the storm. Their faith may have been in the strength of their anchor. I don't know where their faith was, but I know where it wasn't: It wasn't in Christ. They learned something about their faith from the storm, and we do too
When God sends a storm my way, I see how many different things I've been leaning on
