Catch us the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines, (Song of Solomon 2:15)
It is always the little things that we need to watch out for they often slip unnoticed. It is often the little things that spoil the big things in life.
How these “little foxes” spoil the vines! How they rob our lives of the fruit that the Holy Spirit is waiting and wanting to produce in and through us! What can we do with these “little foxes”?
The way to deal with these little foxes is to kill them. They must be rounded up and put to death (Galatians 5:24); they must be mortified (Romans 6:11). If the little foxes are not put to death they will grow into big foxes!
For an illustration of the way to kill the little foxes read Judges 15:4-5, and turn to Romans 13:14. But how can we do this? We cannot do it in our own strength. We need to do it in the strength of the Holy Spirit.
