CULTIVATE to prepare land for crops or gardening ,,,that is to plough , dig turn, hoe , or fertilize the soil/ground…in other venues= to develop, foster, or pursue

HOSEA 10: 12 Sow (scatter seed) to yourselves in righteousness (justice) reap (harvest) in mercy(loving kindness & steadfastness) …Break up (to till, furrow, or  newly, freshly plough) your fallow ground (untilled, tillable soil/ground) 

ATTITUDE….this ‘word’ is not specifically found in the Bible …The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines this as follows…a)posture b) a mental position(disposition) c) an emotion toward an act or state d) a readiness to respond e) ‘today’ we may say he/ she has ‘attitude’ meaning they are negative or defiant about something/someone

**NASB20 & AMP….DO USE ATTITUDE in this Verse… 

Col. 4:2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with an attitude of thanksgiving;...also PHIL. 2:5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,( most other translations say have this mind)

When speaking of what this word means the Bible speaks of

good will…whole- heartedly..or mind set
