List three of the more memorable people in the Old or New Testaments who became disappointed with God because He didn’t respond to them the way they thought He should have responded.
-
Sarah – She thought God will bless her with a child but she did not expect God took so long to fulfill this promise.
David – he wanted to build a house for God then God said it would not be in his reign.
The 12 disciples – They thought He would be their new King and deliver them from the Romans.

There were many people throughout the Bible who became disappointed with God because He did not respond to them in the way that they thought that He should. A few of the more logical choices are David, Abraham, and Jonah. There are many more that I could list, but these three came to mind first.
-
1. Jonah wasn’t happy that God spared the repentant Ninevites.<div>
2. David was not happy that God struck dead the priest who touched the Ark to keep it from falling off the cart.
3. Naomi was disappointed about her fate and wanted to be called “Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.”
