May 30 Morning Devotional | Danger of Little Sins | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning, May 30 | “Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes that are ruining the vineyards.” —Song of Solomon 2:15 (NASB)

This Morning's Scripture Reading: Song of Solomon 2:15-17 (NASB)

“Catch the foxes for us,
The little foxes that are ruining the vineyards,
While our vineyards are in blossom.”
“My beloved is mine, and I am his;
He pastures his flock among the lilies.
Until the cool of the day when the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle
Or a young stag on the mountains of Bether.”

Devotional Video Transcript:

A little thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little sins do mischief to the tender heart. These little sins burrow in the soul, and make it so full of that which is hateful to Christ, that he will hold no comfortable fellowship and communion with us. A great sin cannot destroy a Christian, but a little sin can make him miserable.

Jesus will not walk with his people unless they drive out every known sin. He says, “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” (John 15:10) Some Christians very seldom enjoy their Savior’s presence. How is this? Surely it must be an affliction for a tender child to be separated from his father. Are you a child of God, and yet satisfied to go on without seeing your Father’s face? What! You are the spouse of Christ, and yet content without his company! Surely, you have fallen into a sad state, for the pure spouse of Christ mourns like a dove without her mate when he has left her.

Ask, then, the question, what has driven Christ from you? He hides his face behind the wall of your sins. That wall may be built up of little pebbles, as easily as of great stones. The sea is made of drops; the rocks are made of grains: and the sea which divides you from Christ may be filled with the drops of your little sins; and the rock which has well nigh wrecked the vessel of your life may have been made by the daily working of the coral insects of your little sins.

If you would live with Christ, and walk with Christ, and see Christ, and have fellowship with Christ, take heed of “the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes.” Jesus invites you to go with him and catch them. He will surely, like Samson, take the foxes at once and easily.
Go with him to the hunting.
