In March of '05, I was working as a nursing assistant for an agency, who would fill in staff for nursing homes and hospitals when there were call offs, vacations, etc.. The bookings for needed staff was getting more scarce which left me out of work for 3 weeks. I was also practicing Medical Massage at a Chiropractic office when the need arose. This, too, was not productive enough. I looked down at my day planner and there was absolutely nothing at all booked for the next month coming, either. But the car insurance bill was due at $134.00, which was as close to me at the moment as a million dollars was. I'd been in the Word studying and meditating on God's promises to meet our needs. I prayed "Ok Lord, I trust you. This has to be mailed by evening post. I don't know where it is, but you do."  Just then, the mailman came and I sighed thinking about what bill came that I didn't have the money for. As I walked to the mailbox, I started to feel ashamed. I'd just ate a good breakfast, after waking from a good sleep, off a cozy bed, and I had what I needed. So I stopped praying and started praising. "Lord, thank you, I'm sorry for grumbling, I know you care for me. Teach me to be more grateful." There was an unexpected check for $99.00 in the mail and no bills. I looked up and said "thank you Lord, you're good to me". When I got back in the house, there'd been a call on my cell phone, the message left was a request to book a 1/2 hour massage right away, please call asap. I charge $35.00 for 1/2 hr massage. I looked down at my bible and it was opened to Isaiah 65:24--"And it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer and while they are yet speaking, I will hear".....He knows exactly what we need!!  Praise Him, for He is good---Blessed in Ohio

An excellent way to gain knowledge, wisdom and understanding is to read a chapter in Proverbs a day. Some read the chapter number according to the day of the month. For example: May 4th, Proverbs 4.
