Take us the foxes,
the little foxes that spoil the vines.
Song of Solomon 2:15
"A little thorn may cause much suffering.
A little cloud may hide the sun.
Little foxes spoil the vines;
and little sins do mischief to the tender heart.
These little sins burrow in the soul, and make it so full of that which is hateful to Christ,..
Jesus will not walk with His people
unless they drive out every known sin.
Art thou a child of God,
and yet satisfied to go on without seeing thy Father's face?
Ask, then, the question, what has driven Christ from thee?
He hides His face behind the wall of thy sins.
That wall may be built up of little pebbles,
as easily as of great stones.
The sea is made of drops;
the rocks are made of grains:
and the sea which divides thee from Christ may be filled with the drops of thy little sins; "the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes."
Jesus invites you to go with Him ...He will surely, take the foxes at once and easily. Go with Him to the hunting."
Charles Spurgeon
