Too Big to Handle?
Author unknown
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, the big dreams,
the big jobs and the big opportunities that God gives us. Our faith is too
small.
My doctor thought I had a stroke or heart attack and sent me to the
emergency room. Of course I was not thrilled to be there. A man wheeled me
out to another room. As we are commanded, I gave him the gospel, how Christ
suffered and died for our sins, paid our debt in full, was buried, rose
again and was seen by hundreds. God opened his understanding and he believed
it and prayed to receive the Lord Jesus and God gave him assurance he was
saved. That was a big fish and I kept him- ABC (all
because of Christ) Sumner |
