Have you experienced any disappointments lately?What a dumb question, huh? Life is full of disappointments. But, it’s not so much what happens to us, but how we handle it. When you receive dashed expectations, it will be at that moment when you decide how to react.
When things don’t prosper or succeed according to our plan,
first thing we feel is disappointment. This is normal. There is nothing wrong with feeling disappointed. But, we must know what to do with that feeling, or it will move into something more serious.
The devil would like for nothing more than for you to lie in pit of disappointment for as long as possible. This way he can cause seed of discouragement to grow. From there, he will plant seeds of depression, and so on.
Here are progressive evil D’s in order:
1. Disappointment 2. Discouragement 3. Depression 4. Despondency 5. Despair
Disappointment, if left undelt with, will inevitably lead to discouragement, then to depression, then to despondency, and then on to despair. It’s in despair where people have lost all hope and could eventually commit suicide.
