The Frustration of Expectation | Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. | Elevation Church

There’s a blessing on the other side.
In “The Frustration of Expectation,” Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. of Vous Church reminds us that frustrating seasons are never wasted - and that God might be using that “wasted time” for something bigger than we can imagine.

    Was in a really dark place since yesterday evening. The frustration in a waiting season is so hard, so tempting to make things work out your way instead of trusting God in the middle of it all. This message boost up my faith and hope in God! If He reached out to me with this sermon when i stopped expecting an answer from Him, He is much more able to restore every broken pieces i've put in His hands! I WILL NEVER AGAIN STOP HOPING IN YOU JESUS!!!

    The reason why I stopped expecting is because I fear disappointment. But I was reminded today that there is something to look forward to at the end of my race. I consider that our present sufferings are not comparable to the glory that will be revealed in us. (Romans 8:18) Maybe what I need to do now is to look back to what God has done for me in the past and believe that He is able to do it again, and maybe even more.
