Today I am reminded of the verse in the Old Testament's Song of Soloman 2:15 "Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vineyards, for our vineyards are in blossom". This is warning us that what is precious in our lives can be slowly and subtly destroyed by seemingly insignificant, but consistently effective, destroyers of what we are developing such as of relationships, a job, a project etc. With this analogy we can think of big foxes overtly eating the grapes which are the fruit of the harvest, but it is the little foxes, who can't reach the grapes, which will inevitably nibble away at the roots of the vine so destroying everything and not just the fruit. The Song of Soloman describes romantic love and we can equate this with Jesus as our bridegroom. Do we have 'little foxes' in our life which are gnawing away at our potential time with Jesus and the resultant wonderful fruit?
