I am exhorting this Lord's Day evening on Genesis 50:15-21. I ran across this statement in Calvin's Commentaries. In the midst of world of endless turbulence and upheaval, I found these words to be comforting:

Let the impious busy themselves as they please, let them rage, let them mingle heaven and earth; yet they shall gain nothing by their ardor; and not only shall their impetuosity prove ineffectual, but shall be turned to an issue the reverse of that which they intended, so that they shall promote our salvation, though they do it reluctantly. So that whatever poison Satan produces, God turns it into medicine for his elect.​
—Calvin, Commentary on Genesis (Genesis 50:20).​
