Song of Solomon 2 : 15
"Catch us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines."
The little foxes refer to the little sins, that can ruin destinies. A sin cannot be measured as big and small, we read in many incident when Lord Jesus healed and delivered the people, he instructed them saying 'go and sin no more'. Directly or indirectly suffering was the result of sin.
During my school days, as an altar boy, I was regular in attending my Cathecism class on Sunday morning after the 8:00 a.m. mass, I remember learning in the Cathecism class about 2 types of sin - Venial sin (less offensive) and Mortal sin (grave offensive). A spoken lie was counted as a venial sin, whereas a murder a mortal sin. Apparently, this is not true compared to what the Holy Bible teaches us.
Sin cannot be measured on some scale as big and small rather treated as sin whether a lie or a murder. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 (AMPC) "Since all have sinned and are falling short of the honor and glory which God bestows and receives." A spoken lie intentionally or unintentionally is a sin.
None of us may have ever committed a murder, but the Bible says in Matthew 5:22 that whosoever shall say to your own brother 'Raca' or 'fool' is liable of council and danger of hell fire. Small foxes can ruin vines(yard). A small lie can become a stronghold of our lives if not treated and dealt with it at the earliest.
Each one of us has lied on many occasion while speaking on phone and telling the person on the other end, am right now busy whereas in real your enjoying with someone, somewhere and don't want to be disturbed. Sadly some Christians are baptised in lies and they are not even aware of what comes out of our lips.
God will never test you for big reason, because He knows, you cannot murder or kill somebody but surely you can lie to save yourself and skin. You can surely get angry and irritated if things don't work in your favour and the way you want. Your little foxes need to be caught, check out what weakness is ruining your life and delaying your blessings. I remember a christian sister, used to always complain about her husband fighting with her but she used to end the argument as a last person to speak and declare herself as right and victorious never recognising their blessings were delayed big time, struggling business and they never had kids (with all medical treatment ) even after many years of their marriage.
Prayer :- Precious Holy Spirit, let me not be quick to speak, take control of my tongue and give me grace to deal with my little foxes before they ruin my destiny in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
