Dealing with the little foxes?

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

What exactly are little foxes? As used in the context above it does not literally mean foxes, the context is just applying literature.

Little foxes are minor faults, secret sin, small sin, lying tongue, unforgiveness, lust, jealousy, pride, impurity, unconfessed sins, delayed restitution, a little worldly association that draws the heart away from God, a little ill-temper, a little covetousness that leads to stealing, little prayerlessness, leading to self-management and spiritual blindness e.t.c.

People don't often pay attention to these things but their result is very predictable and bad.

From the nature of foxes, they are animals from the dog family, they are clever and cunny animals, they usually walk in groups, they do not go out for food in the daytime, but wait till it gets dark. They eat plants of different kinds; sometimes roots, and at other times fruits.

These little foxes listed above can grow and become big foxes, not just that while still little they can open door to other big sin or fault that can destroy their  victim.

What are their effects? 
John 15:5 says "I am the vine, ye are the branches:...", Jesus is the vine and you are the branches, as a branch you are supposed to be fruitful but unfortunately these little foxes can consume all your fruit therefore making its victim fruitless.

What  is the effects of being unfruitful? Jesus answered this in  John 15:2 which says  "Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away:..."
Who takes it away? God!

These little foxes can make you lack fruit of the spirit and other results for God. What I am saying is simple, don't ignore those little faults work on them now because if you give them time they can be the thing that will bring you down when you eventually become great.

Just to let you know this blog has been written since 8th of July but I have been too occupied to publish thank God I did today. 

Hope you were enlighten, ensure you put some light on it by sharing. See you next time!
