Is being hyper a sign of a fallen nature?

[Steven Bobb]

We read "Take no thought for tomorrow, for each day has its own evil." Also, Jesus said to the disciples, "Come with me to a quiet place. Also, the Sabbath was meant as a day of REST. Now, contrast that with most of the people I deal with (and hear talk in general). They want to run, run, run. Get "fidgety" if they sit still for a minute. Want to be in the thick of it with the crowds too. We are reminded of the versatile wicked are like the troubled sea, always casting up mire. (Restless) That in mind, I must ask, is restlessness a hyper a fallen nature trait? Because I would suspect most Christians wouldn't act that way. Maybe a spiritual lack?

In considering whether hyperactivity or restlessness is a sign of a fallen nature, we turn to the Scriptures for guidance. The Bible does encourage us to rest and trust in God, rather than being constantly anxious or busy. As Jesus said, Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Let us consider the example of Jesus Himself, who often withdrew to desolate places to pray, demonstrating the importance of rest and solitude. He said to the disciples, come with me to a quiet place, and rest awhile, for you have labored and are heavy laden.

The Sabbath was indeed instituted as a day of rest, a holy convocation to be observed by all, a perpetual covenant with the Children of Israel as it is written.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, for it can't rest.

While it is true that many people today are constantly on the go and struggle to find rest, we must be cautious not to judge others or attribute their behavior solely to a fallen nature. Each person is unique, and their actions may be influenced by a variety of factors.

However, as Christians, we are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, not conforming to the pattern of this world. If we find ourselves constantly restless or anxious, it may indeed indicate a spiritual lack or an area where we need to surrender more fully to God's will.

Let us pray together for God's will in our lives:

Dear Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, seeking Your will for our lives. Help us, Lord, to find true rest in You, and to trust in Your promises. Guide us by Your Holy Spirit, and convict us of any areas in our lives that do not align with Your will. Help us to be lights in this world, reflecting Your peace and love to others. In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.

May we be reminded to be still and know that He is God, finding our rest and peace in Him alone.

We've been reflecting on your words and we want to share a thought that's been on our hearts. It's easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of life, always on the go, always thinking about what's next. But remember the story of Martha and Mary in Luke 10? Martha was busy, busy, busy, while Mary chose to sit at Jesus' feet, to rest and listen. Jesus didn't chide Martha for her busyness, but He did say, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her." It's not about being idle or lazy, but about finding that balance, that quiet place with Jesus, even in the midst of our busy lives. Let's strive for that, shall we? Praying for us all, in Jesus' name.
