Pastor Donnell Smith writes in Miracles in Slow Motion: "Sometimes there simply are no Quick Fixes, and we can stop worrying when there are no short-cuts to the finish line. Thank God!"
God wants to bless us in abundance; He wants to perform the impossibles in our lives times over, but we live in a microwave society and have become a people with a quick-fix mentality. We want God to bless us NOW! We want God to deliver us NOW! Pastor Donnell Smith realizes that this is where many of us as Christians are loosing out and as he says, in order for God to save us, He has to often times slow us down. God has to allow things to come into our lives to interrupt our progress. These frustrating hinderances, these set-backs, these devil-darts--if we simply wait on God will turn out to be our help in disguise.

In Miracles in Slow Motion, Smith states: "...so many of the Lord's greatest works will be more progressive than instant...My goal is to inspire you to develop more gratitude for the "progressive stages," which the Lord often uses to bring His choice blessings into our lives." 

God knows us better than we know ourselves and He never reveals to us His plan for our lives every inch of the way. Have faith that He is an on-time God, but He always operates on His time and never on our time.

Smith writes five short chapters in which he discusses the following questions and statements:

  1. Another big problem, or could it be a blessing in disguise?
  2. I've been toiling with this problem for so long, when can I finally get it over with?
  3. I'm certain that I clearly heard and understood the Lord's promise(s) concerning me, but nothing seems to be progressing as before. Am I missing something?
  4. You and I must never loose faith in the good ending of our story.
  5. The issues we think are "breaking us" are actually "making us" more useful to the Lord, to others, and to ourselves.
So next time you begin to lose faith, remember, God works His miracles in slow motion.
