If God's will is that a state of affairs arises that _you_ would see
as failure, it would still be a success for God because it is what God
wills. You might see it as failure but God would not.

So, again, how is success assured if you do not know what God views as
success? You could see this as a failure because you think that you
know the mind of God.

How presumptuous is it for you to claim to know the mind of God and
state that success is assured because it is God's will?
