Song Of Solomon 2:5 15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

It is often preached how we must bear fruit.  The fruit is what attracts people to the gospel of Christ. But our fruit also attracts the enemy.  Just like in the natural when we grow a garden. We are growing it to sustain us and share with neighbors. But often we have critters that come along and destroy our garden by eating the buds before they can become fruit, or they eat the beginnings of the fruit.

The enemy wants to devour our fruit and to destroy our character. If he can get us to sin, it will hurt our witness.  Often it is not things that are considered the big sins. You don’t have to murder someone, get caught up in a lie or commit adultery for example. Maybe it is something small, the little things can destroy the entire vine.

A little fox will pull down the entire vine, breaking it and damaging the vine. A grown fox can reach the fruit and will not damage the vine. This is why we need to take this verse as a warning to watch the little things. They are capable of destroying the whole vine.

Take some time to check to see if there are any little things you can get rid of before they damage your life. Have a good weekend!

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
