The sad but ironic thing about human nature is that in rebellion against God we think we are hurting Him, when in reality we are helping His purpose be played out. You can serve God and experience His rewards, or you can rebel, being used by Him to carry out His will, and suffer the consequences and not have your needs met. Either way, God’s will is done, the only difference is He rewards those who truly pursue Him with a committed heart.
Human defiance only enhances Your glory, for You use it as a weapon.
Psalms 76:10a
You spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor David, Your servant, saying, ‘Why were the nations so angry?Why did they waste their time with futile plans?26 The kings of the earth prepared for battle; the rulers gathered together against the Lord and against His Messiah.’ 27 “In fact, this has happened here in this very city! For Herod Antipas, Pontius Pilate the governor, the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were all united against Jesus, Your holy servant, whom You anointed. 28 But everything they did was determined beforehand according to Your will.
Acts 4:25c-28
