[1] Sha’ul, an emissary of יהושע Messiah by the desire of Elohim, and Timotiyos our brother, [2] to the set-apart ones in Colosse, and true brothers in Messiah: Favour to you and peace from Elohim our Father and the Master יהושע Messiah. [3] We give thanks to the Elohim and Father of our Master יהושע Messiah, praying always for you, [4] having heard of your belief in Messiah יהושע and of your love for all the set-apart ones, [5] because of the expectation that is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News, [6] which has come to you, as also in all the world it is bearing fruit and growing, as also among you, since the day you heard and knew the favour of Elohim in truth, [7] as you also learned from Epaphras, our beloved fellow servant, who is a true servant of Messiah on your behalf, [8] who also declared to us your love in the Spirit. [9] That is also why we, from the day we heard, have not ceased praying for you, and asking that you be filled with the knowledge of His desire in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, [10] to walk worthily of the Master, pleasing all, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of Elohim, [11] being empowered with all power, according to the might of His esteem, for all endurance and patience with joy, [12] giving thanks to the Father who has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the set-apart ones in the light, [13] who has delivered us from the authority of darkness and transferred us into the reign of the Son of His love, [14] in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, [15] who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation. [16] Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him and for Him. [17] And He is before all, and in Him all hold together. [18] And He is the Head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that He might become the One who is first in all. [19] Because in Him all the completeness was well pleased to dwell, [20] and through Him to completely restore to favour all unto Himself, whether on earth or in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of His stake. [21] And you, who once were estranged and enemies in the mind by wicked works, but now He has completely restored to favour [22] in the body of His flesh through death, to present you set-apart, and blameless, and unreprovable before Him, [23] if indeed you continue in the belief, founded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the expectation of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed to every creature under the heaven, of which I, Sha’ul, became a servant, [24] who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in Messiah’s afflictions, for the sake of His Body, which is the assembly, [25] of which I became a servant according to the administration of Elohim which was given to me for you, to fill the word of Elohim, [26] the secret which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His set-apart ones, [27] to whom Elohim desired to make known what are the riches of the esteem of this secret among the nations: which is Messiah in you, the expectancy of esteem, [28] whom we announce, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, in order to present every man perfect in Messiah יהושע, [29] for which I also labour, striving according to the working of Him who works in me in power.

Trouble Thinking Throughout Tuesday
This is a powerful message about betrayal. I used to tell every man I have ever dated. Cheating was a deal breaker. Not because of the betrayal but because I am a private person and I know first hand how catty females can be.
And so, I never had to explain my upsetness. Due to most guys just assuming I was a typical girl and emotional.
The truth is I believe it's not when he's acting right and doing all the things that a woman likes that determine how deep your love is for him but when he doesn't.
I heard so, many bad things about my father growing up, that for me. my father never left my mom and it demonstrated to me. How not to give up on someone. I only used cheating as a deal breaker because
I watched how females got very angry over it, growing up and I wanted to spare myself the drama.
It never stop my feelings for the guy. I use to think to myself,... He's the one running around acting funny, lying about stuff.
For what?
None of us are perfect and growing and evolving with someone is the spice of life. If he is choosing to live his life this way. That's on him.
I have morals, values I have to follow to ensure the quality of my own life. Most guys I dated didn't understand this about me. It was usually the guy that abandoned the situation.
My husband sited once that I didn't care. Just because I refused to get all broken up about his infidelity. My solution was come home and stop doing it.
Scripture teaches us the man leads and the woman follows. So, if he throw in towel, I'm let off the hook, that's how I looked at it.
I am not supposed involve myself in exotic desires with other men or continue to force things to work out. No, I am supposed to turn to Elohim and He to me.😊🥰Also, my father taught me the man is the head and woman are the body.
For example: if the both of us are trapped in a shed. I will break down and cry saying things like the end is near uncontrollably and he is supposed to stay calm and find a way out. I know it sounds corny and no, it doesn't mean women can't save them selves. I am telling you how God intended it to be.
Hoshĕa (Hosea) 2:1-23
[1] “Say to your brothers, ‘O my people,’ and to your sisters, ‘O, compassioned one.’ [2] “Strive with your mother, strive, for she is not My wife, nor am I her Husband! Let her put away her whorings from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts, [3] lest I strip her naked, and shall set her up as on the day she was born, and shall make her like a wilderness, and shall set her like a dry land, and shall put her to death with thirst. [4] “And I shall not have compassion on her children, for they are the children of whorings. [5] “For their mother has whored, she who conceived them has acted shamelessly. For she said, ‘I go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my drink.’ [6] “Therefore, see, I am hedging up your way with thorns, and I shall wall her in, so that she does not find her paths. [7] “And she shall pursue her lovers but not overtake them, and shall seek them but not find them. Then she shall say, ‘Let me go and return to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.’ [8] “And she did not acknowledge that I gave her grain, and new wine, and oil, and increased her silver and gold which they prepared for Ba‛al. [9] “Therefore I shall turn back and shall take my grain in its time and My new wine in its appointed time, and I shall take away My wool and My linen covering her nakedness. [10] “And now I shall uncover her shame before the eyes of her lovers, and no one shall deliver her from My hand. [11] “And I shall cause all her rejoicing, her festivals, her New Moons, and her Sabbaths, even all her appointed times, to cease, [12] and lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, ‘these are my harlot-fees that my lovers have given me.’ And I shall make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. [13] “And I shall punish her for the days of the Ba‛als to which she burned incense and adorned herself with her rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, and forgot Me,” declares יהוה. [14] “Therefore, see, I am alluring her, and shall lead her into the wilderness, and shall speak to her heart, [15] and give to her vineyards from there, and the Valley of Aḵor as a door of expectation. And there she shall respond as in the days of her youth, as in the day when she came up from the land of Mitsrayim. [16] “And it shall be, in that day,” declares יהוה, “that you call Me ‘My Husband,’ and no longer call Me ‘My Ba‛al.’ [17] “And I shall remove the names of the Ba‛als from her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. [18] “And in that day I shall make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping creatures of the ground, when bow, and sword, and battle I break from the earth. And I shall make them lie down in safety.[19] “And I shall take you as a bride unto Me forever, and take you as a bride unto Me in righteousness, and in right-ruling, and loving-commitment and compassion.[20] “And I shall take you as a bride unto Me in trustworthiness, and you shall know יהוה. [21] “And it shall be in that day that I answer,” declares יהוה, “that I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth,[22] and the earth answer the grain and the new wine and the oil, and they answer Yizre‛ĕl. [23] “And I shall sow her for Myself in the earth, and I shall have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion. And I shall say to those who were not My people, ‘You are My people,’ while they say, ‘My Elohim!’ ”

The Seductive Stranger Sunday
"It's important to acknowledge that knowing the right thing is one thing, but putting it into action can be challenging at times.
We can observe that family dynamics have changed over time, where prayer and eating together as a family at the table are not as common as they used to be.
Additionally, it's important to recognize that the current job market may not always cater to individual needs, and some may feel like they have to choose between their job and personal obligations.
It's understandable that people may not always feel enthusiastic about their work, but it's important to prioritize positivity and joy in life.
One way to achieve this is by prioritizing spirituality and finding inner peace, which can help in areas of life that are not related to money.
Working with a sense of duty and being rewarded for a job well done are both important ingredients for success.
"Melaḵim Bĕt (2 Kings) 18:1-37 [1] And it came to be in the third year of Hoshĕa son of Ělah, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, that Ḥizqiyah son of Aḥaz, sovereign of Yehuḏah, began to reign. [2] He was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Yerushalayim. And his mother’s name was Aḇi, daughter of Zeḵaryah.
[3] And he did what was right in the eyes of יהוה, according to all that his father Dawiḏ did. [4] He took away the high places and broke the pillars, and cut down the Ashĕrah, and broke in pieces the bronze serpent which Mosheh had made, for until those days the children of Yisra’ĕl burned incense to it, and called it Neḥushtan. [5] He put his trust in יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, and after him was none like him among all the sovereigns of Yehuḏah, nor who were before him, [6] and he clung to יהוה. He did not turn away from following Him, but guarded His commands, which יהוה had commanded Mosheh. [7] And יהוה was with him – wherever he went he acted wisely. And he rebelled against the sovereign of Ashshur and did not serve him. [8] He struck the Philistines, as far as Azzah and its borders – from watchtower unto the walled city. [9] And it came to be in the fourth year of Sovereign Ḥizqiyahu, which was the seventh year of Hoshĕa son of Ělah, sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, that Shalmaneser sovereign of Ashshur came up against Shomeron and besieged it, [10] and they captured it at the end of three years. In the sixth year of Ḥizqiyah, that is the ninth year of Hoshĕa sovereign of Yisra’ĕl, Shomeron was captured. [11] And the sovereign of Ashshur exiled Yisra’ĕl to Ashshur, and placed them in Ḥalaḥ and Ḥaḇor, the River of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes, [12] because they did not obey the voice of יהוה their Elohim, but transgressed His covenant – all that Mosheh the servant of יהוה had commanded. And they did not obey nor do them. [13] And in the fourteenth year of Sovereign Ḥizqiyahu, Sanḥĕriḇ sovereign of Ashshur came up against all the walled cities of Yehuḏah and captured them. [14] And Ḥizqiyah sovereign of Yehuḏah sent to the sovereign of Ashshur at Laḵish, saying, “I have done wrong, turn away from me. I shall bear whatever you impose on me.” And the sovereign of Ashshur imposed upon Ḥizqiyah, the sovereign of Yehuḏah, three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold. [15] And Ḥizqiyah gave him all the silver that was found in the House of יהוה and in the treasuries of the sovereign’s house. [16] At that time Ḥizqiyah cut off the doors of the Hĕḵal of יהוה, and the doorposts which Ḥizqiyah sovereign of Yehuḏah had overlaid, and gave it to the sovereign of Ashshur. [17] And the sovereign of Ashshur sent the Tartan, and the Raḇsaris, and the Raḇshaqĕh from Laḵish, with a great army against Yerushalayim, to Sovereign Ḥizqiyahu. And they went up and came to Yerushalayim. And when they had come up, they came and stood by the channel of the upper pool, which was on the highway to the Launderer’s Field. [18] And they called to the sovereign. And Elyaqim son of Ḥilqiyahu, who was over the household, and Sheḇnah the scribe, and Yo’aḥ son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them. [19] And the Raḇshaqĕh said to them, “Please say to Ḥizqiyahu, ‘Thus said the great sovereign, the sovereign of Ashshur, “What is this trust in which you have trusted? [20] “You have spoken of having counsel and strength for battle, but they are only words of the lips! And in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me? [21] “Now look! You have put your trust in the staff of this crushed reed, Mitsrayim, on which if a man leans, it shall go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim to all who trust in him. [22] “But when you say to me, ‘We trust in יהוה our Elohim,’ is it not He whose high places and whose slaughter-places Ḥizqiyahu has taken away, and said to Yehuḏah and Yerushalayim, ‘Bow yourselves before this slaughter-place in Yerushalayim’?” ’ [23] “And now, I urge you, give a pledge to my master the sovereign of Ashshur, then I give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put riders on them! [24] “And how do you turn back the face of one commander of the least of my master’s servants, and trust in Mitsrayim for chariots and horsemen? [25] “Have I now come up without יהוה against this place to destroy it? יהוה said to me, ‘Go up against this land, and you shall destroy it.’ ” [26] Then said Elyaqim son of Ḥilqiyahu, and Sheḇnah, and Yo’aḥ to the Raḇshaqĕh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. And do not speak to us in the language of Yehuḏah, in the ears of the people on the wall.” [27] And the Raḇshaqĕh said to them, “Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men sitting on the wall to eat their own dung and drink their own urine, with you?” [28] And the Raḇshaqĕh stood and called out with a loud voice in the language of Yehuḏah, and spoke and said, “Hear the word of the great sovereign, the sovereign of Ashshur! [29] “Thus said the sovereign, ‘Do not let Ḥizqiyahu deceive you, for he is unable to deliver you out of his hand, [30] and do not let Ḥizqiyahu make you trust in יהוה, saying, “יהוה shall certainly deliver us, and this city is not given into the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur.” ’ [31] “Do not listen to Ḥizqiyahu, for thus said the sovereign of Ashshur, ‘Make peace with me by a present and come out to me, and let each of you eat from his own vine and each from his own fig tree, and each of you drink the waters of his own cistern, [32] until I come. Then I shall take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive-trees and honey, and live, and not die. But do not listen to Ḥizqiyahu, when he misleads you, saying, “יהוה shall deliver us.” [33] Has any of the mighty ones of the nations at all delivered its land from the hand of the sovereign of Ashshur? [34] Where are the mighty ones of Ḥamath and Arpaḏ? Where are the mighty ones of Sepharwayim and Hĕna and Iwwah? Did they deliver Shomeron from my hand? [35] Who among all the mighty ones of the lands have delivered their land out of my hand, that יהוה should deliver Yerushalayim from my hand?’ ” [36] But the people were silent and did not answer him a word, for the command of the sovereign was, “Do not answer him.” [37] And Elyaqim son of Ḥilqiyah, who was over the household, and Sheḇnah the scribe, and Yo’aḥ son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Ḥizqiyahu with their garments torn, and they reported to him the words of the Raḇshaqĕh.
