How does God use human actions for His purposes?

Answered in 1 source

God often uses the actions of others, even their jealousy or greed, to fulfill His divine purposes.

Throughout Genesis 31, we see God utilizing the envy of Laban's sons and Laban's own greed to prompt Jacob's departure. This demonstrates God's sovereignty; He orchestrates events in our lives to achieve His intended outcomes. Romans 8:28 assures us that 'all things work together for good to them that love God.' Even negative actions or attitudes of others are woven into God's overarching plan for His people. This powerful reality encourages believers to trust that God can use all circumstances, both good and bad, for their growth and His glory.
