Weired boat dream?

Question

here it is as best as i can remember it;

a friend and me signed up for a fishing trip and departed down a wide and deep river, it was a cold overcast day and the waters wernt rough but they wernt smooth either, the water was also clear and blue and i saw schools of small to medium fish swimming beside the boat, but here is the weird part about it - the boat was made of wicker, it was a weaved wicker boat! it had no deck it was just a hull with a bridge, and the only thing keeping it afloat was the buoyancy of the wicker, we spent the trip treding water and hauling in loads of yabbies (crawdads - cray fish) then the captian decided to head out to sea to do some fishing out there, i remember thinking somthing like "this boat is not going to survive out there" and sure enough it sank in the harbour, it ended up getting towed and refloated (i think) but my friend and me ended up getting jobs with a very professinal fishing crew and ship.

ideas?

Answer 1

Are you familiar with the story of Moses in the Bible?  He was targeted for death, but his mom built a little boat of reeds (like wicker) and set him afloat in the river, among the tall reeds, to hide him from the soldiers.  Fortunately for him, his mom smeared pitch or tar on his boat, so it was pretty water proof, but still, it was only a temporary solution.  

The reason he was a target is because he was a Hebrew slave in Egypt, and Pharaoh feared the Hebrew nation was growing numerous and strong, so he decided to have all baby boys killed at birth.  Somehow, Mo's mom managed to hide him and avoid his immediate death, for awhile, but he was getting bigger (and louder) , and she had no idea what to do.  So, she prayed, and God gave her this RIDICULOUS answer.  "Put your baby in a basket boat and set him afloat."  Huh?  Crazy, right?

BUT... the strangest (and scariest) thing happened.  While Moses was floating, Pharoah's daughter came to the river to bathe.  She found the baby, which freaked out Moses' older sister who was watching him from behind the tall grass.  She ran home to tell her Mom.  Meanwhile, the princess was cuddling the baby, cooing, and all that cute stuff, and decided she absolutely MUST take him home and keep him as her own.  Moses' Mom showed up and offered to be his hired Nanny (even equipped to breastfeed him!  How convenient!)

So, Moses' little basket boat, a temporary solution at best, turned out to float him right into the palace where he grew up to be a Prince of Egypt, and eventually set the Hebrew people free from slavery and even be the one God's handed the 10 Commandments on tablets of stone.

What has this to do with you?  You have a small, poorly funded, poorly equipped business.  But like Moses, there is more to it (and you) than most would suspect.  Moses was a future Prince and Prophet of God and deliverer of his people.  You, apparently have something to offer as well. (I suspected as much and looked back and saw your previous post about your internet business.  So, when I saw I was right, I said, "Cool!"  So here it is!  

Your business is your boat.  It might seem like it's sinking, but it seems to me you are headed for bigger, better things.  Is someone going to buy you out and let your run the show? (Like Moses' Mom, who got to raise Moses for several years before he went to live in the palace and change history forever?).

Pray for wisdom.  Seek God, not in the stars, but for Himself.  Your future is not preprogrammed, one size fits all based on your birthdate, but He does have a plan for you.  God bless you.
