Catch all the foxes,
those little foxes,
before they ruin the vineyard of love,
for the grapevines are blossoming! SONG OF SOLOMON 2:15
The love of God is the most powerful force in the universe.
Yet God has chosen to store that incredible power on earth inside of fragile human beings. Paul the Apostle says it this way.
“God, who said, “Let there be light in the darkness,” has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure.[b] This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” 2 Corinthians 4:6,7
Before I go mixing my metaphors too much further let me just say that human beings are weak and it doesn’t take much to take us off track. Those little foxes can cause real problems for the work of God if we don’t catch ’em.
I’ve been wondering about the little foxes in the move of God I am involved in. I can sense they are out there, just now though they are in hiding.
Maybe I’m in denial.
Maybe I am downplaying the seriousness of the “little foxes”.
Maybe I am paranoid and there are no little foxes…..
Maybe I just think the little foxes are too cute to be a problem.
What do you feel about the little foxes?
Notes From the Vicarage 
I don’t think you are being paranoid at all. It’s discernment. The little foxes are something the Lord has warned me about and brings this passage to mind especially in seasons of change and growth. We pray, give it to God and ask Him for help.

Yes. I actually spoke about this with my church treasurer last night and he agreed we need to pray and watch.
