I love multitasking. The other day one of Norwegian’s financial newspaper, Dagens Næringsliv, had an article about this. Eva Grinde wrote about some research that shows and documents that multitasking people are not more efficient than others. I can agree. I also disagree.

To my understanding completing one task may be done faster if you only do one thing at the time. But there is also something else going on when I live out my multitasking; I am creative and I am proactive. I might suddenly be able to make the phone call I have been reluctant to do. I might start writing the emails that should have been sent a long time ago. Multitasking gets me going.

The question about whether I am able to actually have control on different areas and subjects at the same time is something else.  But multitasking certainly helps me managing my life some days.

Is God multitasking? If I don’t believe that I am surely limiting him. Therefore I do believe he is able to have his mind on a million things and a billion people at the same time. All the time! After all he is God. He can care for my small worries at the same time as he cares for the people of Japan. There is no doubt in my mind.

I want to keep this in my mind when I turn to God in prayer. I need to stop limiting him and his capacity.

Paul writes and worships God for this:
“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen”
