Most everyone has the ability to multitask….are able to perform more than one thing at a time. Mom’s are especially proficient at this and many others do a great job of it everyday. Some multitasking is good, while others, such as texting and driving, is not good at all. There are times when the job at hand, or the problem at hand, needs our full attention and multitasking becomes a problem for people. (Notice I said for people.)
God is the master of multitasking. Think about it. While thousands of people recently called on Him for help during the floods and destruction by multiple hurricanes, others were praying for their own immediate problems….and He heard each one. Not one tear went unnoticed, not one prayer unheard, not one problem ignored. His ability to be in all places at all times and give full attention to each one of us at the same time is what makes Him GOD.
We get overwhelmed when the food on the stove starts to boil, the phone rings and the baby starts to cry….all at the same time. Your car breaks down, it’s pouring down rain and you discover your cellphone is dead. What do you do in these situations? Well, those who know Him, will usually call on God for help….And He is right there, calming your nerves ( helping you to “gird up the loins of your mind and be sober”) He might even stop the rain so you can make your way safely to someone’s house to use their phone….or He might send an angel to rescue you. He always has us in the palm of His hand, reassuring us, calming our nerves, using those around us to help fulfill His promise never to leave us or forsake us.
Many pray for loved ones who are sick, others need comfort because someone they love has died; One country threatens war while another one prays for peace. One woman has lost her keys, while anothers child has gone missing. In all these situations no matter how huge or small the need may be, we can rest assured that God is hearing the prayers…. all at the same time and giving His personal undivided attention to each one. People have the ability to multitask. Only God has the POWER to multitask….and for that we praise His name above all others!
