  • LITTLE FOXES in Song Of Solomon Two Fifteen - 3 years ago
    This verse is very important to our future when we review its symbolic meaning. To most, a fox is a very attractive, cute little animal that some wish they could have. In reality, the fox is a very sly, sneaky, destructive animal that sneak into vineyards, eating the grades, chewing the bark, and digging up the roots.

    The vineyard symbolizes our mind and the little red fox symbolizes destructive thoughts that come into our mind. Thoughts when permitted to grow can result in damaging or destroying our life and our walk with the Lord.

    If we permit Satan's thoughts to remain, they can build to the point where we believe and follow them into situations that can destroy us. Or we can choose to catch and eliminate them from our mind. This verse is given as a warning to be on guard while our mind is tender in blossom, about to grow into good fruit, to review our thoughts before bad thoughts can grow and destroy.

    2 Corinthians 10:5 warns us to Cast down imaginations, and every high thing that raises up against the knowledge of God. We need to examine our thoughts and cast them down if they are of Satan.

    An update to Solomon' verse would be Permitting only a little sinful thought to remain can ruin the fruitfulness of your Christian life.

    Existing sin, be it what we may consider to be small or big is the same to God, a sin, and it is sin that separates us from God. And what is Satan' objective, to separate us from God and God' blessings. To destroy us in HELL.

    Every sin starts with a THOUGHT. It may take years for a thought to grow into a sin or it may only take a few seconds. If we flirt with a thought, like physical beauty, it can grow and lead to another thought. We need to nip a wrong thought in the bud and cast it out of our mind before it grows and takes over.

    Apostle Paul asked, You were running a good race. Who cut in on you to keep you from obeying the truth? That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you ( Galatians 5:7-8)
