RALEIGH, N.C. - s4story -- Let's face it: not many of us are influential. Not many of us are important and popular, rich and powerful. But that's okay because God chose the insignificant and overlooked to confound the wise.

Those who are in Christ Jesus, have the wisdom of God and the power and authority of Jesus to do great works — and write great works (1 Corinthians 1).

When His believers act in the Spirit of Jesus their message, writings, teaching, and preaching are a demonstration of the Holy Spirit's power.

When we place our marketing efforts in His hands, trust in His ways, and work within the opportunities He provides, we testify that our success does not rest in human wisdom, but in God's power.

No platform? No problem. The Lord God gives favor and honor to those who ask (Psalm 84:11). Joseph found favor in his master's sight (Genesis 39:3-4) and God granted Job life and favor (Job 10:12). Ask God to give you favor with readers, with organizations, with reading groups, with bookstores and yes, even Amazon.

Here is today's encouraging Good News from Jesus.

"My grace is sufficient for us. My power is perfect." (2 Corinthians 12:9) Jesus is saying:

• "My favor is upon you."
• "My blessings are flowing to you."
• "Whatever you need is already supplied."
• "My Father's grace meets your every need in any situation — including book sales."
• "My power is perfect. You lack no good thing for your work. All the power you need is already yours."

So how do we access this grace Jesus gives us? With words. With our eyes, we read His words. With our hearts, we believe His words. With our minds, we meditate on God's words. And with our lips, we speak His words to our problems and possibilities.

If your book isn't jumping off the shelf, command it to get hopping. Speak to your book the way you might a teammate who is lallygagging onto and off the field. In a loving but stern voice, tell your book to go out and find new readers and new reviewers. Then expect your book to run to its position and excel.
