Foxes are interesting creatures. For one, they really are beautiful. There are ~50 different fox species, the smallest weighing just 3 lbs. They don't chew their food, but use their shearing teeth to cut it into manageable chunks. They are cunning predators, theiving food, and have a notable high pounce. They live in small holes in the ground, or sometimes cubbies above ground.Throughout the Bible foxes are not cast in a positive light. Foxes are used to describe theiving creatures, sly, deceptive men, and a means of judgement when Samson set fire between their tails and let them loose in the city. Jesus' reference to foxes made mention of their earthly homes and noted that as our Saviour, He had none. Still, the Lord knew the foxes, He knew where they lived. Even though they were bound to the world, they were still in his sight.
Are you praying for someone who is bound to the world? There are so many people, like foxes, in all shapes, sizes, races, genders, with amazing qualities. Yet, they are bound to the world, and known by their iniquity. But there is always hope. God knows what they have done, knows what they will do. He knows where they live, where their heart is. There is always hope because the One who knows them, knows how to save them. Foxes indeed are beautiful, and can serve as a reminder of God's ability to save. So, keep praying.
Please, God, bless!
"And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Matthew 8:20 ESV
Inspired by "365: A Daily Creativity Journal: Make Something Every Day and Change Your Life!" I decided I should be more conscientious of my creative side. I chose to modify this one year challenge (9/23/14-9/24/15) to create something each day that would also force me to focus my perspective on a Godly world-view.
