LORD, Help Me Get The Little Foxes Out Of My Life. Thank YOU.

The little foxes!
(Arthur Pink)

"Catch the foxes for us--
the little foxes that are ruining 
the vineyards!" Song of Songs 2:15

Though there may be nothing in my outward 
conduct for which the LORD is chastising me--
yet it is likely there is something within 
against which HE is intimating HIS 
displeasure, and for which HE requires 
me to humble myself.
  A spirit of selfishness,
  the allowing of pride,
  the workings of self-will,
  the stirrings of rebellion when 
     Divine Providence crosses me,
  the exercise of self-righteousness--
may be the plague-spots of my soul 
which need purging.

In the rush and pressure of every-day life, 
the little foxes that are ruining the vineyards 
are apt to be neglected; and if we are 
careless, then we must not be surprised 
if we are placed on our backs for a season . . .
  that there may be time for reflection 
  and opportunity for closer dealings 
   between the soul and GOD,
  that the hidden things of darkness 
  may be brought out into the light 
  and faithfully dealt with.

"Search me, O GOD, and know my 
heart; test me and know my anxious 
thoughts. Point out anything in me 
that offends YOU, and lead me along 
the path of everlasting life!" 
Psalm 139:23-24
