Is this quote true?
“Just because miracles don’t happen instantaneously doesn’t mean they aren’t miracles.”
That’s the point of “The Case for Slow Miracles, a post by Michael Hyatt.
When I read this quote and accompanying story, I immediately began to try to think of a Biblical example of this. Then it hit me. The greatest miracle of all was in the works for thousands of years (and in fact could be considered ongoing): Redemption.
Hyatt concludes,
Occasionally, God works in an instant. But this, I think, is the exception. Usually, He works over a long period of time. This doesn’t make it any less miraculous, but it is certainly less dramatic.
What “slow miracle” has God worked in your life?
Nephos 
Not sure that I follow Hyatt’s thinking. It seems that if we redefine the term then almost everything spiritual is miraculous and the word loses meaning. On a personal basis I do think that sanctification is a slow ‘process’.. but if we call it miraculous we would have to water down the meaning of miracles.
I’m not sure I go to the extent Hyatt does. Some things are obviously the work of God, but occur within natural processes and time periods.
How would you define “miracle,” Bob?
Thanks for asking Cameron! I posted about miracles a few years ago and I my thinking about them is pretty much the same. Here are the links:
