The enemy starts attacking small...
Most spiritual compromise begins quietly:
A small distraction, habit, or compromise you tell yourself is “not that serious.”
That is why we must guard our hearts very carefully!
Because not everything that weakens your spirit looks dangerous at first.
Song of Solomon 2:15 KJB says:
“Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.”
Notice what destroys the vineyard.
Not lions, tigers, or bears...
Little foxes.
Small things left unchecked.
That is how many believers slowly drift away from God.
Not all at once tho.
Slowly.
Prayer starts becoming less consistent.
Time in God's Word becomes less important or forgotten.
Conviction becomes easier to ignore. Your conscience gets seared.
The things of the world become more appealing than the presence of God.
And over time, what once bothered your spirit no longer affects you.
That is why compromise is dangerous.
The enemy does not always try to destroy you instantly.
Sometimes he simply tries to distract you long enough to weaken your walk with Jesus Christ.
But God is calling His people to wake up spiritually.
To guard their hearts.
To protect their minds.
To stay rooted in prayer and in HIS truth.
Do not ignore the “little foxes” trying to spoil your vineyard.
Close the door to compromise, and rebuke it will all righteous indignation!
Turn away from what is feeding your flesh and starving your spirit.
And run back to the presence of God Almighty.
Because the closer you walk with Jesus Christ, the clearer you will recognize what is trying to pull you away from Him.
So protect your spirit with vigiliance.
Stay watchful, being spiritually aware.
And stay close to God, seeking Him with all your heart, mind, and soul.
He is with you!
