The Ben Ish Chai Chacham Yosef Chaim of Baghdad

The Ben Ish Chai concluded by saying, “When Hashem wants to help a person, the person doesn’t need to possess much talent, wisdom or intellect. Hashem just takes care of him in ways that could never be foreseen. This is as is stated (Devarim 25:2): ‘All the blessings will come to you and reach you.’ Even if a person runs away from the brachos of Hashem, if He wants to give them to him, they will reach him.”
