Very simply, God doesn't pick them. He gave us free will to decide for ourselves how to conduct most of our affairs with his micro-management. How many times have you heard an athlete thanking God for winning some evert or big game? Their thanks to God is misguided because God didn't choose them to win or lose. And then, there are those who more appropriately express their gratitude to God for the opportunity that put them in a position to compete, whether they win or lose.
Truly, an answer for everything.
