It was Reuben who implied god sets criteria, as he said the reason for the chance meeting was because god was wanting to help either the couple, or the Rabbi, or both.

Oh, wait, I get it, in your world god chooses who she is willing to help based on how much faith they have. Tell that to the righteous pastors who have been preaching to not get vaccinated against Covid, and don’t wear your masks, and come pack the pews on Sundays to hear the word of god — and then died of Covid. I guess these preachers’ faiths were not strong enough? Yep, god works in mysterious ways.
