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." Well, why not get a bigger frying pan rather than a getting the smaller fishes? asked the experienced fisherman.
Are you like the inexperienced fisherman? Are you throwing back your big dreams? Are you resizing your big plans? Are you waving off the big opportunities and resources that God is bringing your way?
Friend, you don’t have to downsize to fit your current state instead upsize and break the walls of limitations. The question is not can God provide it? The question is, can you handle it? If you don’t have it yet, it may not be that God has not brought it your way, it may just be that your capacity to receive is yet too small. We are where we are with what we have because of our current thinking capacity. There are still many big opportunities around us today just as there are many big fishes in the river. Why settle for less when we can have more?
Yes, nothing is impossible unless that which we think is! When a problem or an idea seems too big to handle, do not attempt to make them smaller. Simply enlarge your capacity to handle the problems and opportunities.
Therefore, I encourage you to watch that idea or challenge God is bringging to your way. Rather than ask “can I”? ask “why can’t I”? Remember, you can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.
Prayer
Lord, enlarge my capacity to receive and manage all that you bring my way in Jesus name! (1Chronicles 4:10)
