God's sovereignty over evil is evident as He uses even the actions of the devil to fulfill His divine purposes.
The sermon emphasizes that nothing occurs outside of God's sovereign will, including evil actions committed by the devil and demons. Romans 8:28 assures us that 'all things work together for good to them who love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.' This includes the actions of Satan, which, while malicious in intent, serve a sovereign purpose. Just as Joseph stated in Genesis 50:20, what was meant for evil by those who wronged him, God meant for good. This is a reminder that God is not caught off guard by evil, but rather, He is in complete control and even uses it to bring about His ultimate plan of redemption.
