Coat of Colors
The Threads in Joseph's Favor
Genesis 37:3 (KJV):
"Now Israel loved Joseph
more than all his children,
because he was the son of his old age:
and he made him a coat of many colors.”
Marked Before the Dream
Before he dreamed,
he was dressed.
Before he spoke,
he was seen.
Not by his brothers—
but by a Father who favored.
The coat wasn’t just cloth.
It was calling.
A thread-woven whisper from Heaven
that Joseph was set apart
long before the journey began.
———
Hated for the Hues
The colors weren’t loud—
but they shouted to the jealous.
His brothers didn’t hate the fabric.
They hated the favor it stood for.
When you're marked,
you’ll be misunderstood.
Not everyone celebrates what God covers.
Some will try to strip it
just to feel whole again.

Stripped, But Still Sent
The coat came off.
The pit swallowed.
But purpose never paused.
You can lose the gift.
You can lose the title.
You can lose the people you trusted—
and still be chosen.
God doesn’t call by costume—
He calls by covenant.
———
The Silence of the Servant
Sold.
Imprisoned.
Forgotten.
But not forsaken.
The boy who once dreamed in daylight
now serves in the shadows.
This is where God stretches the dream—
until pride breaks
and humility breathes.
He was still Joseph—
but now he was ready.

When Colors Become Crown
Pharaoh didn’t ask for his backstory.
God gave him the moment anyway.
From slave to steward.
From pit to palace.
The colors return—
but this time,
they don’t make him proud.
They make him grateful.
The boy with the coat became the man with the key.
And he wore it with wisdom.
Final Flame:
The favor on your life
might offend the ones who never asked for theirs.
But don’t shrink your story
just to stay safe in their circle.
Because even when the coat is gone—
the calling remains.
And the pit is never the end
when God's promise is painted
in colors only Heaven could weave.
