I love the show Man vs. Wild. I think it’s awesome to see how Baer navigates through the jungles, deserts and woods. He eats horrible things though. It’s pretty gross.

Strangely enough, I thought of this show after my reading of Proverbs 12. It’s all about Godly vs. ungodly or being wise vs. foolish. I love to read about how to be wise and honorable. My favorite proverbs from tonights reading is, “¹⁸ Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.” Another good one is,  ”¹⁶ A fool is quick-tempered, but a wise person stays calm when insulted.” There is even a proverb that talks about being kind to animals. I think God wants to give us clear directions about how we are to act and behave. I like it when He breaks it down plain and simple so even I can understand it. Just think, if Bear from Man vs. Wild had not been through extensive training to face all sorts of challenges, he’d probably be dead by now. He got some good instruction along the way and has become wise about how to navigate the wild. I want to be wise in navigating through this life. I want to be a successful christian. One that understands how to act and treat others. I don’t want to get to heaven and God say, ” Well, you barely made it.” My prayer tonight is that God will give me the guidance to navigate through my day tomorrow. To be wise in all my words, only speak those things that are encouraging and to love discipline. That’s a tall order but through Christ all things are possible.
