If I am capable of NOT following God's will, then it is possible for a state of affairs in the world NOT to reflect God's will: there will be a gap where my action should be or an action where there should be a gap.
If that is true for me, is that not true for everyone in the world and therefore for all states of affairs in the world?
Does God always get his own way?
It is God's will that people who die of alcoholism do so?
Or are parlous states of affairs in the human world the result of the exercise of free will granted us by a loving God who would like us to align ourselves with Him as a matter of choice not obligation, with the concomitant possibility that we may turn away from Him?
