How does God use contrary events for good?

Answered in 1 source

God orchestrates contrary events to fulfill His purpose, often leading to blessings amidst evil actions.

In Scripture, we see God often using events that appear contrary to His purposes to bring about a greater good. For example, Joseph's brothers intended evil against him when they sold him into slavery, but God meant it for good to save many lives (Genesis 50:20). This illustrates that human intentions can be corrupted, yet God sovereignly works through these actions to fulfill His divine will. Such contrary events demonstrate God's intricate wisdom and power, showing that nothing is beyond His control and that He can bring good out of the most dire circumstances.
