Little Foxes called WAD
Little foxes……WAD.
[15] Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines,..........Song of Solomon 2:15
What are these little foxes….that can ruin out spiritual walk with the Lord.?
They seem to be small in size but can be a hindrance in our relationship with Jesus our Lord and Saviour.
W - Worry . It looks innocent , does not seem sinful but rather harmless. Jesus likened the worry to the thorns ( Matt 13:22) .
Just like the thorns choke the growth of the seed that has been planted, likewise the thorns can choke our spiritual growth.
A - Anxiety - Any worry that is not checked/ handled but allowed to fester in our hearts can become anxiety. Anxiety alters our behaviour , we can turn boisterous , angry and blame others.
When anxiety goes unchecked it can turn into depression. Resulting into a sad countenance and intense worry..
Jesus gave us simple medicine called - Trust.
We need to cast our worry to Him ( 1 Pet 5:5 )
Giving thanks for the very thing that is worrying us is a good solution to the whole problem.
Giving thanks acknowledges that God is greater then our problems. It proves that we trust Him.
Trusting God in our situations, pleases Him (Heb 11:6)
