Have you ever wondered if Pharaoh found it ironic that every action that he took to destroy the Hebrews resulted in exact opposite of his intent?

What topsy turvy events do you have in your life that the adversary would use for your downfall, yet God is using it to make you into a glorious person of character? Do you see these events as frustrating or do you embrace the goodness that God will bring out of it?
Just as the story of Samson and the Lion. Do you see God bringing sweetness out of the strong? Do you see God working behind the scenes accomplishing a beautiful and sweet mercy in your life?
