Divine Providence governs every man, in uninterrupted continuity; this gift, everyone who so desires can always have at his disposal. A man who turns his thoughts away from frivolous things, who arrives at a knowledge of God in the right way, and feels himself blessed by it, can come to no evil; for then he is with God, and God is with him. Should he, however, turn his thoughts away from God , then God is far from him , and he is far from God; and is thus subject to every possible evil. For the special Divine Providence which protects us from the ocean of chance, is the result of that same divine, spiritual gift.
Maimonides
