Little Foxes
Vineyards in the Middle East require extensive watering, pruning, and protection. Even vineyards surrounded by rock fences were vulnerable to weather, insects, and wild animals. One of the most destructive wild animals was little foxes. Mature foxes would jump over a rock wall, eat a cluster of grapes, and leave the grapevines unharmed. But young foxes would dig under the rock wall and chew through the stalk to bring the grape clusters down to them. Little foxes can do great harm to a vineyard.
In the second chapter of Song of Solomon, Solomon’s young bride-to-be uses a blossoming vineyard as a metaphor for their blossoming love and urges him to “catch" and remove anything that could damage their relationship.
“Catch all the foxes, those little foxes, before they ruin the vineyard of love, for the grapevines are blossoming!” (Song of Solomon 2:15, NLT)
This November, I’m going to show you some small things that can seriously damage your valuable relationships, and how to remove them.
