Little foxes


Catch the foxes for us,
the little foxes
that spoil the vineyards,
for our vineyards are in blossom
.” (Song of Songs 2:15, part of the chapter we read today)

Here are some helpful words from Enduring Word (David Guzik) commentary;

Hudson Taylor thought of the “little foxes” that may ruin our relationship with Jesus Christ. “The enemies may be small, but the mischief done great… And how numerous the little foxes are! Little compromises with the world; disobedience to the still small voice in little things; little indulgences of the flesh to the neglect of duty; little strokes of policy; doing evil in little things that good may come; and the beauty, and the fruitfulness of the vine are sacrificed!”
