The Best Multitasker of All

Multitasking, it's something that everybody needs to do at times. Some people are better at it than others. It takes organization and an ability to see and do several things at one time.

As I was doing my household chores today I had a limited amount of time and many things to do. I'm generally fairly good at multitasking, but today I feel that I had the wisdom of the Lord to best perform my daily chores. At one point I paused and realized that I had one load of clothes in the washer and another in the dryer. I had eggs boiling on the stove while in the oven were flax buns and almonds toasting that would soon become almond butter. I had started everything properly so that the bread and almonds went into the oven midway through the egg preparation and when the timer went off everything was ready. By this time I had also put together the ingredients for a pumpkin and sweet potato soup that would simmer on the stove for the next hour.

As I thought of all the things that I was doing at one time, it occurred to me that this was minuscule compared to activities of my Heavenly Father. The best multitasker of all is God. He can watch the entire world at one time. He sees the birds fall and count the hairs on each and every person’s head. “Are not two little sparrows sold for a penny? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave (consent) and notice. But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” (Matthew 10:29-30 AMP) He created the earth and everything in it! Now that is multitasking!

It's kind of funny that people think God might be too busy for them. People do not want to bother God with their concerns stating that God is too busy with the rulers of nations and other important things all over the world. It is true that God is concerned with the affairs of nations. But God does not allow the important things of the world to take the place of His precious children. When we look at the things that Scripture promises us, we can see that He is quite capable of caring for many things. God is in control of rulers and even the very earth itself. He can turn the heart of a ruler as He can and change the direction of both. “The King’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, as are the watercourses; He turns it whichever way He wills.” (Proverbs 21:1 AMP) God also is concerned with the heart of man. This is not only mankind in general, but each individual person. David expressed this well. “You number and record my wanderings; put my tears into Your bottle—are they not in Your book?” (Psalm 56:8 AMP) God cares and saves every tear we cry.

God is bigger than we can imagine and His love goes beyond anything we can comprehend. The apostle Paul prayed, “That you may have the power and be strong to apprehend and grasp with all the saints [God's devoted people, the experience of that love] what is the breadth and length and height and depth [of it];” (Ephesians 3:18 AMP) He cares for the greatest detail in the world and the smallest detail in an individual's life. Whether a prince or a pauper, dignitary or common man, God cares for each of us.

Each and every occurrence in our life is seen by Him. Every prayer we have prayed has been heard. Psalm 139 discusses just how God knows every detail of our lives. He formed us in our mother’s wombs and sees our standings and are sitting down. He knows our path and every word we speak. And he loves and cares for us intimately. (See Psalm 139) Like David we can say, “I will confess and praise You for You are fearful and wonderful and for the awful wonder of my birth! Wonderful are Your works, and that my inner self knows right well.” (Psalm 139:14 AMP)

God can multitask just fine. Nothing we can bring before Him is too big for Him to handle or too little for Him to be concerned with. Every thought, every need, everything should be brought before the King of kings. He is never too busy!

And if you have been feeling that what you are going through is not worth bothering God about, know today that He is not too busy for you. Bring every thought and concern that is on your heart before him. “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” (1 Peter 5:7 AMP)
