How do we know that God can use anything to accomplish His will?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture confirms that God can use even the inanimate nature to fulfill His purposes.

The account in 2 Samuel 18 shows how God used the natural elements of a forest to bring about the downfall of Absalom. This serves as an illustration of how God can use anything, even creation, to execute His will. The concept is echoed throughout Scripture where God's sovereignty governs not just human actions but the very fabric of creation itself. For example, in Luke 19:40, Jesus says that if His disciples were silent, the stones would cry out. This reinforces the idea that God will accomplish His purposes regardless of human involvement. This aligns with the Reformed understanding of God's sovereignty, highlighting His omnipotence in directing all aspects of life.
Scripture References: 2 Samuel 18:8, Luke 19:40
