Thoughts for the week:
November 14
There must be a design for the world in the mind of God. We believe His design for the world is a universal fellowship of men and women under the fatherhood of God. The plan for your life must also be in the mind of God. In times of quiet meditation you can seek for God's guidance. Many people are not making of their lives what God meant them to be, and so they are unhappy. They have missed the design for their lives.
24 Hours a DayNovember 16 Beware The Dog!
If, when those around you are talking negatively about something or someone, you chip in with your own contribution, you are taking a strange dog by the ears - so look out! If you get emotionally tangled in what is not your affair, through indignation, self-righteousness, hatred, or otherwise, you have seized the dog again - and he will bite. And even to think negatively concerning such matters in the secret chamber of your own heart, will bring you proportionate and natural punishment.

November 18 Divinity Within
You cannot have too much confidence in yourself. You cannot claim too much for yourself. But remember that you must realize these things as being the expression of God in you and not independent qualities of your own. You must also accept them as being true for every other human being.
[T]he realization of one's divine selfhood never gives swelled head. It gives wisdom, balance, poise, and steady progress. Think, talk, live your divine, glorious selfhood, and it will demonstrate itself in your life.

November 19
Try to raise your thoughts from the depths of the sordid and mean and impure things of the earth to the heights of goodness and decency and beauty. Train your insight by trying to take the higher view. Train it more and more until distant heights become more familiar. The heights of the Lord, whence cometh your help, will become nearer and dearer and the false values of the earth will seem farther away.
