Topic: The Sister and Mother of Strength
Highlight:
Catch for us the foxes, the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.
Song of Songs 2:15 NIV
Strength has family members. On the stage today, I present you the strength and it's family. You will need them to catch the foxes that ruins your vineyard. Foxes doesn’t come and only eat the fruit of the vine–they do much more damage. They like to gnaw on the trunk, dig holes around it and expose the roots. They don’t simply eat the grapes, they like to destroy the entire vine!
Things like unresolved conflicts, addictions, negative mindsets and laziness are examples of foxes that ruins blossoming vineyards. We will need Strength and it's co to win the foxes of life.
Foxes are extremely smart and stubborn. They will watch you and your habits and learn when it is the safest to make an attack on your poultry and vineyard. But Strength alone cannot chase Foxes away, you need Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding to chase Foxes. Proverbs 4:7 says "Wisdom is supreme; so acquire wisdom. And whatever you may acquire, gain understanding." The three sisters of Strength are Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding but the mother of them all is Vision. If you want to make a difference in the world today, you will need to have Vision also known as Divine Revelation or Divine Guidance. It will unravel the mystery behind chasing away foxes of life permanently.
The vision I am talking about is divine guidance. Proverbs 29:18 says that "When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild. But whoever obeys the law is joyful."
Do you know that anyone who is lead by divine guidance will work wonders because they have automatic wisdom, knowledge, understanding and strength combined. Foxes don't like urine. You will have to chase them away by urinating in their den(s) and off they will go far away from your vineyards. Strength alone is not enough to discover a solution. We must connect to the source of strength itself which is Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:13 says We can do all things through Christ that Strengthens us.
Our default mindset is one of defence and self-protection. But we do have to "Trust in the LORD with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding; Proverbs 3:5. When we obey and meditate on divine laws written in the Holy Bible, we will have good success through Divine Guidance. Joshua 1:8.
Prayer: Help, O LORD, Give me divine guidance in Jesus name. Amen
