Too often we get discouraged at the first sign of defeat. There may be times when it appears that things aren’t happening in your favor. As a result, you may lose confidence in that chapter of your life.

You should realize that what seems to be a curse may really be a blessing in disguise. Next time you’re tempted to get discouraged and throw in the towel, vow to stick it out long enough to see what the true end will be.

Sometimes we just need to roll with the punches. Yes, life has it’s ups and downs. One day life may be giving you every blow to the face imaginable and the next day may be full of blessings. But today I want to encourage you to take whatever disadvantage you face and use it to your own good.

In other words if life gives you lemons, make lemonade! If life throws you blows, put on your best defense. Say to yourself, “I may be in for a bumpy ride but I’m in it to win it!”

Ephesians 6:11 says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.“

My friends, you are equipped with everything that you need to withstand the blows of the enemy. Realize that anything that seems to be a curse is not always the end all be all. Know that there is a greater reward waiting for you on the other side.

When you’re faced with difficulties and challenges in life, often times it’s a fight in your mind. The scripture goes on to say in verse 12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.“

Know today that the enemy is going to attack you in your mind. He wants to convince you that, due to unfortunate happenings, you should give up. He wants you to throw in the towel because he doesn’t want you to reach the supernatural blessing that God has in store for you.

Oh but I dare you to tune out that voice of defeat. Continue to roll with the punches. Don’t fall prey to the curses of the enemy. Press on to receive the blessings that God has in store for you today as you charge forth into a new dimension of your life!
