Song of Solomon 2 - Praying God's Word


Please read Song of Solomon 2.
www.blueletterbible.org/nasb/sng/2/1/s_673001
Meditate on verse 15.

Catch the foxes for us, the little foxes
that are ruining the vineyards,
while our vineyards are in blossom.

The couple is thriving in this chapter, taking great delight in each other, pursuing and embracing each other (vs. 3, 5, 8-9). But while their vineyard blossoms, little foxes come to destroy it (v. 15). These rascals must be caught before they can damage this fabulous vineyard.
Destructive foxes can quickly crawl into a marriage. Be aware of them and remove them immediately, before they hurt the relationship.  Unforgiveness, bitterness, unkindness, and jealousy are just a few of the foxes’ names that want to ruin your marriage. If they have already crept in, do not be tempted to throw your hands up in defeat; the damage can always be repaired with God’s help.
Talk to your spouse about the foxes that have been allowed to enter; then prayerfully purpose to throw them out.  Fox-proof your home and marriage in the strength and love of Christ and His Word.

Pray Song of Solomon 2:15-16 over the marriages you guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, catch the little foxes for us,
 the little foxes that are ruining the vineyard of _________.
 Let our vineyards blossom with no foxes to ruin them. 
Let ___________’s beloved be hers alone and let her belong to him. 
May he faithfully pasture his flock among the lilies.
For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
