Our Heavenly Father multitasks perfectly. It seems to me that learning about our limitation--that we are better off focusing upon one thing at a time--is good for our humility :).

God is Spirit, infinite, eternal, and unchangeable in His being, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodness, and truth. God therefore can multitask. I have a body, limited in my being, wisdom, and power. My multitasking, therefore, is inherently inefficient. I am not God! (I know that sounds like stating the obvious, but isn't it odd how often we have to remind ourselves that... like David in Ps 62:5-6)
