Nothing occurs in life that does not ultimately align with God's purposes. Even the distorted schemes of evil become tools in the hands of providence.

Romans 11:33-36 says "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord, or who became His counselor? Or who first gave to Him, and it will be repaid to him? For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things; to Him be glory forever! Amen. "

If it is all from Him, through Him and to Him, there is no room for the plans of others. In what is the greatest mystery in all of life, God is able to draw all things together to fulfill His great purposes.

Those purposes also include using the intentions of the wicked to undermine their own goals and, at the same time, fulfill His.

Even evil must ultimately serve God's purpose.
