Divine Interventions to the Devout

In the famous "Tari Ghat Station Story" from  Page 256, Life of Swami Vivekananda, a rich merchant was taunting Swamiji about his starving condition while he himself was eating sumptuous food. After a while, a sweet meat seller came running to the Swamiji, bearing a basket of food & water. He said he had a dream, where God told him to feed a starving sadhu in the railway station, whom God described. The man identified Swamiji & offered him the food. The Swamiji, surprised, thanked him & accepted it.

In the film "Song of Bernadette" based on a true story, right after the first vision of St.Bernadette of the Lady at the Grotto, a family whom Bernadette's mother had helped in the past, caming running with  food for the starving Soubirous family & even offered a job to the father to enable him to earn money.

On the night of the Muslim Saint Rabia's birth there was no lamp, oil or swaddling clothes for the new born baby. The Prophet, appeared in a dream to the father of Rabia, telling him to write to the Amir of Basra, reminding him of his obligation to help the poor. After the receipt of this letter, the Amir himself came running with the necessary funds.
