The Word tells us that God uses what Satan purposes for evil to accomplish good. As with all things, I'm finding that grace is the secret to this dynamic.
Suffering, failure, death, pain...without grace, they end us...in the light of grace, they all draw us closer to Him.
Even in the act of sin - in the very moments we're struggling and faltering, we can be forced to cry out to the savior who sees us as blameless in the midst of our filth.
In the face of death - we are forced to draw closer to Him for comfort, and motivated to share the knowledge of His grace with all who would listen.
In the midst of suffering, we realize that our strength is useless and we are forced to depend on Him.
Each of these can be seen as make-or-break circumstances. And the difference between them accomplishing good over evil is simply grace.
