Little Foxes! so destructive!
Every small appearance of the old life – a habit, a bit of selfishness, uncrucified pride, a tendency to dwell on past grievances – all these and much more are the little foxes.
These are not the grave sins, the shameful reversion to the world, but the unobtrusive and often unnoticed contradictions of our calling in Christ.
How they spoil what might otherwise be such a delight to God.
Little folly. Unpleasant odor.
Christ Says – you need My Help. We will do it together! rid all the little foxes!
