Joseph was favored by his Father & he had a coat of many colors to prove it! How many of us would want to be treated the way Joseph was treated? He was hated of his brothers, thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, thought to be dead by his father, lied on by Potiphar's wife, thrown in prison. But he was favored, becoming 2nd in command to Pharaoh. What about Jacob? He was favored, his name changed to Israel, became the father of the nation of Israel, the people of God! One day, he was given a bloody coat & was told that his son was dead. But Jacob had favor with God, didn't he? For 21 years Jacob believed the message from the bloody coat; your son Joseph is dead. He embraced the bloody coat & believed it's message!
In your life, top holding on to a false sense of reality, PUT DOWN THE BLOODY COAT!
God does have a plan for your life, even when we don't understand, the bloody coat had a purpose! A great famine came in the land, Joseph's family would have starved if Joseph wasn't a leader in Egypt, the only place during the famine that had food!!
