That Little Fox
Good Morning
Scripture reading: Song of Solomon 2:15
Worship song: Here's My Heart Lord
Meditation:
King Solomon warns us to catch the little foxes before they ruin the vines that have tender grapes. Little foxes are destructive to the vines because they attack the roots and stems, which are the lifeline of the plant. The little foxes are the seemingly insignificant sins that burrow into our lives that we refuse to shun. The little foxes are the seemingly minor issues that we disregard, the deceptions and lies that we accept, which appear harmless yet have the potential to wreak havoc on our spiritual well-being and relationship with God.
When we consistently disregard these habitual sins, they
can lead to major sins, which will ultimately harm our character and hinder
spiritual growth. A little spark kindled a fire; likewise, little willful sin
defiles the conscience, so beware of the little foxes lurking in your vineyard
(heart), for they are hindrances to your spiritual connection with the Holy
Spirit. These little foxes, if left unnoticed, will destroy your ability to
produce spiritual fruits and prevent you from hearkening to the leading of the
Holy Spirit. The little foxes are the works of the flesh that war against the
fruit of the Spirit. Guard your heart and do not disregard small sins, as they
can cause damage to your personal growth and relationship with God over time.
What are the little foxes that creep in your vineyard? Are you chasing or
feeding these foxes?
Jehovah God, you are worthy to receive glory, honor, and
praise. Almighty God, examine my heart this day and reveal the hidden sins that
burrow their way into the secret chambers of my heart. Lord, I confess sins
known and unknown and beseech you to remove far from me the desire to walk in
the flesh. I surrender my heart, mind, body, and soul to you, O God, and ask
that you purify me of any and every hidden sin that will hinder spiritual
growth and commitment to serving you. Lord, I humbly ask that you restrain the
influence of human weaknesses and cultivate the fruit of the Spirit within me
to enrich and empower me for your glory. Almighty God, I entreat you to help me
ward off the little foxes that creep into my heart, the sin that so easily
besets me. Father, grant me dominion power over the work of the flesh, leave no
room for sin to manifest in my heart, and reign in my mortal body to make me
obey its passion. Lord, I need more of you and less of me in the name of Jesus
Christ. Amen.
Wishing you a fantastic day. 💕👏🙏
