Stillnessless?

I am the kind of person that likes to constantly be doing something.  Whether it is working on a project, teaching someone something or just sitting somewhere and tapping my foot.  It’s a moving compulsion.  I realize this especially when I am in the soundbooth at my church.  I realized today.  Even during the pastors message, I was pacing.  When there was prayer, I was pacing.  When nothing at all was happening.  I was pacing.  I was moving the entire service.  I am always moving, or thinking.

I wonder why that is?  I like to think I have a fairly good relationship with God.  But, then times like today, I realize, I move. I move. I move.

Several times over the last week, Psalm 46:10 has come up.

Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

It’s come up while I was reading blogs, while I was cruising the internet.  Even in just regular conversation.  People have told me to just be still at work, and most people tell me I am a very high strung person.  Why is it that I am afraid to be still?  It’s weird.

I don’t have a solution.  I don’t even have an answer.  What do you struggle with? Is it something you knew you struggled with or did it just jump at you one day like this did me?   It’s so awesome how God works isn’t it?
