The "little foxes" aren't storms or droughts or grand catastrophes; they're the small, subtle, almost invisible threats that spoil the vine before we even realize the damage is done. In our own lives, these foxes come in many forms: a hidden resentment, a whispered temptation, a seemingly harmless compromise. Individually, they're easy to ignore, but together, they pose a danger far greater than their size would suggest.No one wants this—no one sets out to ruin the vines of their life, their marriage, or their faith. Yet, by overlooking these tiny trespassers, we allow them to fester until our lives are a shadow of what they could be. Today, as we confront the "little foxes" of our own hearts, may we discover the courage to guard the vineyard God has given us, nurturing the tender fruit He has planted, and protecting it from the silent thieves that threaten to spoil the harvest. https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/102824434511167 Religion & Spirituality Sun, 27 Oct 2024 12:00:00 +0000 Pastor Darrell Bailey 0:40:47 no Pastor Darrell Bailey - Song of Solomon https://www.sermonaudio.com/solo/peeplesvalleybapt/sermons/815241811175775 God's Design for Love.
