0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Tanya Wilmoth. What's your recovery time? Active recovery is really
0:18.0	important for endurance athletes. One of the things they might do to prepare for a long race or a race in the mountains is hill repeats and they find maybe the longest and steepest hill where they live and they run to the top and then they jog down and do it over and over.
0:33.0	Or they find a really hilly road or a set of stadium bleachers and just run to the top over and over.
0:39.0	Now it sounds kind of counterintuitive because you might think the real work is in getting
0:45.8	up the hill.
0:47.9	But the most important part for hill repeats comes at the top of the hill in the recovery zone.
0:53.2	See the temptation is to get to the top but all your effort in getting there and then stop and rest.
0:59.2	But the stronger an athlete gets, the quicker their heart rate recovers at the top of the hill when they keep moving.
1:08.4	See, they're looking to decrease that recovery time. So they don't stop, they don't walk when they get to the top
1:14.6	they do something called active recovery where they just keep going so their heart

1:31.0	Sometimes it takes a while to work through a problem or a
1:35.5	temptation before we can see what God is doing, what he would have us do, and how he
1:41.6	is good. Sometimes though our perspective changes more quickly and we can be really
1:47.1	glad and thankful for what God is doing. When David wrote the Psalms it seems like his recovery time is pretty active.
1:55.0	He can be writing and in one stanza he's lamenting about his sin and his fear and his desperation
2:00.0	and then by the end of the Psalm he's praising God for maybe being a rock or a strong mountain and for keeping him
2:06.4	tucked safely underneath his wing. I like to think the Psalms are training us to be endurance athletes in the ups and downs of life,
