LITTLE FOXES
This topic was inspired by Nathaniel Bassey's Song "Book Of Life". At the end of the Song, he made mention of "Little Foxes". I had to go and do more findings on what little Foxes are and if they could be found in the Bible, oh Yes! I found it.
Songs of Solomon 2:15
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.
What are Foxes? Foxes are little things overlooked that often spoil things of value. The shulamite verbalize her love for king Solomon,she speaks of the need to catch the Foxes that spoil the vines. Foxes represent potential problems that could damage their relationship prior to the marriage.
Foxes creep in unnoticed and destroy our vines.
Wrong things we think.
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.
Wrong things we say.
Matthew 12:36
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Wrong things we do.
James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Wrong things we think
Many of us have one way or the other conceive evil in our heart. Take for instance,there are some people that we come across in life and dislike them for no reason or probably because someone said they dislike them too,we conclude and accept such people as evil even without haven gotten to talk or relate with the person.
Also there are times we relax,sit and just imagine ourselves in some immoral act maybe with an opposite sex(crush). These wrong thoughts of our heart can be foxes.
Wrong things we say
Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.
There are words that come out of our mouth that aren't good enough,we jokingly say some,some might be slang,yet they have no meaning nor add good value to our lives. Infact they might be insultive words which we overlook, and they creep in gradually destroying our lives.
Psalm 141:3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
Wrong things we do.
Many times we do things when no one sees us,we feel there's nothing bad about it,sometimes people caution us about those things which are wrong but we still feel it's our lives to live. Forgetting our lives ought to be good examples,doing things in a manner such that nothing will be found against us. We ought to live our lives pleasing God. Some of such act may be beating a child even when they are not wrong(seniority), cheating and covering up when one is placed over people younger than us.
Nathaniel Bassey in his song said, little foxes and secret folks will spring surprises on the final day.
Let's be careful of little foxes that creep in unnoticed,else they spoil our vines
