God uses the wicked too

25 Jul God uses the wicked too

We often pray for and expect divine helpers but God uses the wicked too.

🎯At times ungodly people appear to triumph over the righteous, and it makes us scratch our heads, wondering why the Lord doesn’t intervene.

🎯But the truth is, He often uses the wicked to accomplish His purpose.

🎯Joseph faced one hard-hearted individual after another during his life.

💥His brothers sold him into slavery and had him shipped off to Egypt.

💥His master’s wife accused him of an unspeakable crime.

💥And even those he helped, like Pharaoh’s cupbearer, forgot about him.

💥But once the story of Joseph’s life was written in full, it was clear that everyone who harmed or neglected the young man contributed to God’s plan.

🎯The Lord used all the trials in bringing Joseph to power at the right moment to spare his family—who were the Messiah’s ancestors—from the effects of famine.

🎯In our own life, we can see God’s actions only from the limited vantage point of our humanness.

🎯Often the Lord’s goals and purposes are hidden from us until His plans come to fruition.

🎯We may wonder at the turns our life takes, but we can be certain God is sovereign over all the earth.

🎯The wicked may triumph for a season, but the final victory belongs to Christ and His righteous followers.
