The Power of God Revealed in SetbacksSample

So recently I attended a book festival and I was so excited. I can remember showing up early and setting up, I had everything that I needed. Before the event started I went by to support other authors and congratulate them on their accomplishment. Once the event started, I can remember a lot of people passing my table. So I started to get discouraged. I told myself this will be a great experience and I’ll network so it won’t be a total waste of my time. The night before I talked with God and I asked how many books should I bring and I heard 40. So I had 40 books with me. After taking a moment to encourage myself, the enemy was busy again because I overheard a customer tell the vendor next to me, “I knew I was going to support you because I read the meet the author’s link.” At that moment the Holy Spirit reminded me that people are out here for numerous reasons, but the ones I have for you will come to you. I can remember saying, "Okay thank you Lord." After my first customer the rest was history. Men and women from different walks of life purchased my book and I was very grateful. During the event there was a lady across the street, I saw her and I waved and she came over. Her exact words were, “How convenient for you to be right here near the road because I was here to purchase your book and support a few others.” God showed me what He can do for one, He can do for others. By the end of the event all 40 books were sold and people were still coming to my table. I was speechless.

Words of encouragement: When God tells you to do something, don’t question it because He already knows the outcome.
