HIS WILL

Prov 16:4

4 The LORD works out everything for his own ends — even the wicked for a day of disaster.

NIV

First before there was anything there was God and we need to know and understand that he is the sovereign of all. He is more powerful and any other being the one who created all things, including man. Some would say that God created evil, but that is not case. He did, however, create man with the power to choose to rebel against him, to fight against him, to in fact do evil. We can see that God was extremely saddened when mankind had turned from him, rebelled against him and their hearts were inclined to evil, so he decided to destroy all of them save Noah and his family. But even the those who rebel against him, who do evil, who refuse to have God rule over them, will be used for his glory in the end. He did not predestined them to be evil, but he will still be glorified when he judges their deeds, as he will be the one who decides they will see disaster for their evil deeds. They may not glorify him in their lives, but at the end they will bring glory upon him. He is the Lord God, who will always and forever have all the glory and honor because of everything, all the good deeds by those who love him, worship him, honor, him, serve him and proclaim him as their lord and master, as well as by all those who rebel against him. In the end, there will still be God and his will shall be done.
