for way, as surely as you laid up substance the night before for a manifestation of it at the right time, the money comes. This is the way it works. We have seen it again and again.

Concentrating Where You Are

In this talk I am taking up concentration in the daily life, right where you are--- not in some other place or among other people, or by yourself. Where you find yourself, there you are to know concentration, self-control, poise, self-possession, peace and power. The old idea that we must go to a nunnery or to some secluded spot in a mountain, or be by ourselves before we can get control and be at peace, we must dismiss.

it is true, you will have moments when you can go to “The Secret Place,” and you must recognize such; even though it be only five minutes, you must thank God for that, when you can get off by yourself and hush everything. It may not come until you are at the point of retiring at night, but take advantage of it and thank God that you can be still and forget everything for two minutes. It is enough. Such a minute is “like unto the grain of mustard seed.” If you can have the Sabbath-consciousness for one minute in the day, it can solve the whole problem of concentration. “Remember’ the Sabbath to keep it holy.” Remind yourself that you have that minute. Don’t say, “I have no time for concentration, for meditation.” You might as well say, “I have no time to be useful.” You have all the time there is and you can do with it what you will.
