When God Doesn't Meet Our Expectations

Gospel of Luke, Chapter 7, verses 18b-23John the Baptist, having been imprisoned, sees the works of Jesus.  And he begins to doubt.  This can't be the One to whom we were looking.  He's not at all what I expected.  So what happens when that same thing happens to us?  What happens when we begin to doubt and see God operating in a way that is outside of our expectations?  We have a choice to make.  Either downplay what we are seeing and experiencing and, by doing so, put God back in our nice little box.  Or expand our notion of God.  That's not easy.
