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.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. (Philippians 4:13.)

Nothing is too big for God.

Stop telling God you've got big problems. 
Tell your problems you've got a BIG GOD!

My thoughts........

God does consider each of us individually as He "gives" us "opportunities" in our lives.  He never gives us more than we can handle.  It is our choice what we do with what we are given.  Will we throw the opportunity away? ... or... will we do what it takes?  will we stretch ourselves to learn, to grow, to advance to a new level?  It is our choice.  Our free will always enters in to our circumstance.  I think I'll go out and get that new, larger frying pan!  How 'bout you?
