A VESSEL MADE BY GOD FOR HIS OWN USE As we read in Romans 8:28, Christians can rest in the fact that God is Sovereign over everything that happens in this life. He directs events, He puts people in our paths, and essentially He enables us to be in the right place at the right time. There is nothing so fulfilling as knowing that God is using you to reach people. God can shape you into a useful vessel. He takes the "trash bucket" of our lives and makes it a "silver tray." God had determined where you will fit into His "puzzle," what is going to be necessary to bring that about, and He will persevere until He gets it done, Romans 8: 29 tells us that He is determined to complete what he has 'predestined' Satan is allowed to do only that which God has planned for His glory and our good. Without knowing, Satan serves God's purpose.
