While in prayer, I stumbled on this verse, Deuteronomy 7:21-24 (a verse I would probably never turn to). So as I read, I wanted to understand more. The notes from my study Bible say it this way:
“Moses told the Israelites that God would destroy Israel’s enemies, but not all at once. God had the power to destroy those nations instantly, but He chose to do it in stages…little-by-little. In the same way, and with the same power, God could miraculously and instantaneously change your life.”
“Usually, however, He chooses to help you gradually–teaching you one lesson at a time. Rather than expecting instant spiritual maturity and solutions to all your problems, slow down and work one step at a time, trusting God to make up the difference between where you should be, and where you are now. You’ll soon look back and see that a miraculous transformation has occurred.”

Okay, God…one step at a time…I get it.
What an awesome God we have! Thank you, Amen.
