INTRODUCTION
The fox is widely known for being cunning, tricky and stealthy. The strength of the fox lies in its craftiness or skill in deception. Similarly, some character traits, attitudes and habits appear insignificant and harmless but have far reaching negative impact on our relationship with God and one another.
Little foxes, therefore, refer to those traits, attitudes, sins and habits that we often overlook, excuse or defend but they have negative effect on our walk with God. In this study, we shall identify the little foxes, their impact and how to eliminate them from our lives. May the Lord grant us understanding in Jesus name. Amen.
