You can control a shark’s growth.
A long time ago, I was told that if you put a baby shark into a 2-foot aquarium, it will never grow bigger than 2 feet long. Put it in a 4-foot aquarium, and it won’t grow more than 4 feet long.
The size of the container determines the size of growth.
I’m not sure how sound that biology is, but I am certain that it’s sound theology.
Too often, I am contained more by my expectations than by my circumstances. You are too. How big you think determines how big you grow. How much you expect determines how much you inherit.
You were made just a little lower than the angels. The God who gives more than you can ask or think is on your side. The same power that conquered the grave lives in you.
Don’t let your thoughts be a 2-foot tank. Don’t dream in a 4-foot tank. Start the week by thinking and dreaming ocean-sized thoughts and dreams, and watch your life grow beyond in ways you never saw coming.
Conversely – you can contain a shark of a pesky problem or a situation by keeping it in an appropriate sized tank rather than creating a Sea World scale exhibition for it. I have a shark that I need to keep in a small tank and this is the visual I will use when I am tempted to build an arena for it! Thank you!
