When life feels like a wilderness and what God has given you does not look like enough, will you trust His provision—or grumble for the comforts of the past?

Summary

In Exodus 16, God provides manna and quail for Israel after He delivers them from slavery, showing that He faithfully supplies what His people need in the wilderness. Yet the people repeatedly complain, disobey God’s instructions, and long for the familiar—even though it was bondage—rather than trusting the God who rescued them. This devotional reminds us that our present struggles are not our final destination, and that God calls us to receive His provision with obedience, gratitude, and rest. Above all, God’s greatest provision is Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection offer salvation and eternal life.

Fred Meyer to close its 6th store in Puget Sound since the Fall of last year. Could high taxation and high crime be contributing causes? Poorly run government means businesses flee, and the job losses hurt families.

Fred Meyer announced that it is closing its James Center store at 6901 S. 19th St., leaving Tacoma with only one remaining location.

What if the government—not God—decided your job, your purpose, and where you belonged? This devotional challenges us to reclaim vocation as a personal calling from the Lord, not an assignment from the state or a pursuit of profit alone.

Summary

God gives every person distinct gifts, roles, and a calling that should be discerned through Scripture, prayer, wise counsel, and the desires He places within us. Drawing on 1 Corinthians 7:17 and Colossians 3:23, this devotional explains that our work is ultimately an act of worship done for the Lord—not merely for an employer, the marketplace, or the government. It contrasts this biblical vision with centralized systems that can treat people as interchangeable units, while also warning that capitalism can reduce vocation to income and profit. The closing prayer lifts up young adults seeking direction and asks God to guide them into the work He has uniquely prepared for them.

Polyamory in Seattle. Seattle Council Member Alexis Mercedes Rinck, the bill's sponsor, said at a committee meeting Wednesday: "We all know that every family is different, and we need to be clear that every family receives equal protection under the law," Rinck said. "And chosen family is family."

Your job, your family, your civic involvement, and every responsibility in your day matter—but they are not the main thing. In Luke 9, Jesus sends His disciples out with a clear purpose: proclaim the Kingdom of God and demonstrate His power. The question is: what is the “lead line” of your life today?

Summary

Drawing from Luke 9, this devotional reminds believers that Jesus sends them into every part of life as witnesses for His Kingdom. While work, family, business, farming, civic responsibility, and stewardship all matter, the gospel of Jesus—His death, burial, resurrection, and saving grace—must remain the central message. Christians are called to be salt and light in the public square, relying first on prayer and God’s power rather than looking to government or personal provision as the ultimate answer. The devotional closes with prayer for Washington’s leaders, businesses, farmers, and communities to receive salvation, wisdom, and a renewed commitment to glorify God.
