When God Disappoints

from Transformation Church · host Pastor Joseph Nieves

Bible Text: John 11:1-17. Disappointment is a part of life. We all experience disappointment. Disappointment is the sadness we feel when life doesn’t turn out the way we hoped. When people let us down, it hurts. When we experience pain from loss, it hurts. When tragedy hits us, and our lives are turned upside down, it can be devastating. I can’t help to think about the over 100 people who lost their lives last week in a flash flood in Texas, many of them were children who were sleeping at a Summer camp. It is a parent’s worst nightmare. To get that call. Your child was swept away in a flood, and several of them are still not found. This is not just disappointment, it’s devastation. It’s tragic. It’s heartbreaking. It shakes us to the core. More often than not, we turn our disappointment towards God. What do you do when God doesn’t do what you expected? When you believed for healing… and it didn’t happen? When you prayed for the breakthrough… and it didn’t come? When you trusted Him… and He still allowed the loss? When you thought He would protect you and your children, and it seems like He did not?
