Why does God use the wicked for His glory?

Answered in 1 source

God uses the wicked for His glory as a demonstration of His sovereign control over all creation.

God's sovereignty extends over all actions, even those of the wicked. Psalm 76 states, 'Surely the wrath of man shall praise thee,' indicating that God can turn the intentions of the wicked to fulfill His purposes. This was seen when Sennacherib, king of Assyria, threatened Jerusalem, only to be thwarted by God's powerful intervention. By using the wrath of men, God demonstrates that He is in control, ensuring that His glory is upheld through every circumstance.
