People often cite tragic events as a sign that God pays no attention to the people he created. What you have here is the argument for the opposite, the abounding presence of fortuitous coincidence when attributed to God is sure proof that he has a close and personal interest in our everyday lives. It is how we live that determines our spiritual welfare, not how we die.

Recently I have felt very strongly that the good fortune that I am experiencing is not the result of effort and dedication on my part, but due instead to the conspiration of the universe, in other words, God. My response has been to dedicate myself more fully to my spiritual well-being, because it isn't for my temporal well-being that these blessings are being showered on me.
