Heart Knowledge

Have you pondered a runner’s internal monitors of effort?

Coach Lyle Claussen during the 1990s lists the University of Nebraska-Kearney men’s cross country team weekly workouts on the bulleting in the hall way of the physical education building.

Adjacent to mileage, Lyle writes “easy,” “moderate,” or “hard,” whether morning or afternoon. Lyle provided my marathon training regimen in similar format.

Are you pondering how UNK runners’ and I discern “easy,” “moderate” and “hard”? Effort defines these relative terms; additionally conditioning and pace substantially correlate with these relative definitions. Previous workouts and mileage along with other factors contribute as well.

Logging vast mileage fine tunes and synchronizes the runner’s heart and mind. We discern our heart rate of 120 (easy), 150 (moderate) or 180+ (hard) beats per minute. Time and mileage enable monitoring; focus synthesizes data.

Focus synchronizes heart and mind!

In the late 1990s, a few runners began wearing heart rate monitors. Upon moving to Dallas August 2011, cognizance displays numerous runners wearing heart rate monitors. Why are an abundance of people, runners, unable to discern their heart rate?

Is our technologically dependent, fast paced world, fracturing our heart-mind synchronization?

Does this same phenomenon facture our discernment of the Holy Spirit in their lives? The NIV Bible uses “heart” or “hearts” roughly eighty times. If we are to “set your heart on things above,...” (Colossians 3:1), along with discerning those things God writes on our hearts (2 Corinthians 3), we are to “dwell in your heart through faith” does are heart-mind synchronization need fine tuning?

Focus synchronizes heart and mind in Christ.

Are you focusing on your relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit? Are you focusing on the pure word of God, who is Jesus Christ? Are you focusing on synchronizing your mind with God’s will written on your heart?

When my mind-heart synchronization is near perfection, I am in full tune of my body, soul and mind, as well as those around me.

The focus is on the Holy Spirit!

A Holy Spirit focus and resulting synchronization with our mind, produces thoughts, actions and words from and correlating directly to scripture, God’s pure word.

Focus on your Holy Spirit filled heart and mind!

See Christ, Believe Christ, Achieve with Christ!
