You must catch the troubling foxes, those sly little foxes that hinder our relationship. For they raid our budding vineyard of love to ruin what I’ve planted within you. Will you catch them and remove them for me? We will do it together. Song of Songs 2:15
Recently God gave me a picture of a freeway on-ramp that was cluttered with potholes and debris. Driving a car onto an on-ramp like this would be dangerous. If one goes too fast without care of the vehicle, it would most likely damage the car.
It struck me that many of us are like that freeway entrance. We carry in our hearts past hurts and offences, and then wonder why we don’t have a victorious life. Those potholes are like the troubling foxes in our lives. They bring unbelief and weigh us down with wrong
understanding of who God is.
Jesus wants us to catch the troubling foxes, but not only that, he has said He will be with us in the process. “We will do it together” he said. That is such a comfort to me! I am not on my own when there are things in my life that need to be addressed and purged. Jesus is helping me through that undertaking because He wants to see me set free into His perfect love.
As I allow Him to work in my heart and cleanse me, it’s like filling the potholes on the freeway entrance. The surface is levelled and debris is removed, making it safer to drive on, for both me and the vehicle. The ride then is smooth and brings me to a wide open freeway, or onto a clearer path that He has for me. The noise of the vehicle driving over potholes is removed, so I can more easily hear His voice when He directs my steps.
Are there things in your life that you know are a hindrance to your walk with Jesus? If you give Him permission to cleanse you, He will. But He will do it in a way that brings you “life” in exchange for the “death” of sin.
God is for you, not against you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. And His heart for you is to see you set free from things that hold you down, like unbelief, shame, guilt or anger.
Be set free in His love!

A coworker and I trade Meowdoku screenshots now. We send each other boards where one wrong cat ruins everything, and the other person has to find the safe route. It's the most wholesome competition I've ever been in. The personal space rule is real.

Tried Connect Master after seeing a TikTok about it. The game is way more fun than it looks. You really have to compare every detail – hair, face, background, even the tiny accessories.
My friend showed me Colony Flow and I was instantly hooked. The concept is simple but the execution is perfect. The countdown on each numbered block makes you value every pull. The special tiles like chocolate and hungry doors are well integrated. A fantastic puzzle game.
