Catching Foxes

Bible in a Year : Isaiah 14–16; Ephesians 5:1–16

Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards. Song of Songs 2:15

The first time a bat invaded our home we dismissed it as a fluke. But after a second nighttime visit, I read up on the little critters and discovered they don’t need much of an opening to pay humans a visit. In fact, if they find a gap as small as the side of a coin they’ll let themselves in.

So I loaded up my caulk gun and went on a mission. I went around the house and closed up every tiny opening I could find.

In Songs of Songs 2:15, Solomon mentions another troublesome mammal. He writes of the danger of “little foxes,” which can “ruin the vineyards.” Symbolically, he’s speaking of threats that can enter a relationship and ruin it. Now I don’t mean to offend bat-lovers or fox-lovers, but keeping bats out of the house and foxes out of the vineyard is a bit like dealing with sin in our lives (Ephesians 5:3). By the grace of God, the Holy Spirit works within us so that we don’t have to “live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit” (Romans 8:4). By the Spirit’s power we can resist the temptation to sin.

Praise God that, in Christ, we’re now “light in the Lord” and can live in a way that “pleases” Him (Ephesians 5:8–10). The Spirit helps us catch those little foxes.

Reflect & Pray

When you’re tempted to sin, how can you lean into the Holy Spirit’s power to resist it? What little foxes can the Spirit help you deal with today?

God, use Your power to give me the strength to resist sinning and damaging my relationship with You and others.

Very good message.

Hope you're doing well.

[Silentgypsy]

Thank you.

That’s good to hear that you’re doing better. I’m doing pretty well.

Happy Warm Fuzzy Wednesday
To Amy's Place

~CURIOUS KITTENS~

We are curious, flat faced, fuzzy, blue eyed Kittens
Looking for a place to play and keep safe our mittens
From the many things that are spread across this table
Fighting the urge to explore and get messy as best as we
are able

Oh, it was an uphill struggle as you might guess
With twins Penelope and Nicole making themselves a pest
Batting around the small round things called Cherries
While snowball Misty and I climbed inside our short,
protective aeries

Not to be outdone in their cocaphony of fun
The twins spied towers twice as tall as Misty's and mine
For them, Bigger is Better and always a find
Like silvery springs, they stretched and suddenly unwound

Slipping into their tall towers amidst triumphant sounds
Only to be fooled by the Humans who had set the table
By cups that stack to form two taller Towers of Babel
Now the twins' folly will be the stuff of Feline Fables!
