 Worthy Brief - May 5, 2026

You are being prepared to reign! 

Luke 19:15-17  When he returned, having received the kingdom, he ordered these servants to whom he had given the money to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by doing business. 16  The first came before him, saying, ‘Lord, your mina has made ten minas more.’  17  And he said to him, ‘Well done, good servant! Because you have been faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities.’ 

What you do now matters more than you realize. The Kingdom is not only about what is coming -- it is about how you are being prepared for it. Yeshua (Jesus) made this clear when He said, “Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities” [Luke 19:17]. Another was entrusted with five. The distinction was not favoritism -- it was faithfulness.

In Scripture, faithfulness is not vague—it is something that can be seen and proven. The Greek word pistos means faithful in the sense of being trustworthy and reliable - someone who has shown, through consistent action, that they can be counted on. And what is it proven in? The "very little"-- elachistos -- the smallest, least visible things. Yeshua is making a clear point: the proving ground of Kingdom authority is not the public moment -- it is the hidden one. What you do with what seems insignificant is what determines what you will be entrusted with later.

This reveals a foundational Kingdom principle: authority is not randomly assigned -- it is entrusted. And entrustment is connected to faithfulness. What you are doing right now is not separate from your future -- it is shaping it.

Scripture goes even further. The Apostle Paul describes this process using the word dokimazo -- to test, to examine, to refine as metal is assayed. [1 Corinthians 3:13] Your life is not being overlooked -- it is being evaluated, not for condemnation, but for capacity. Every act of obedience, every unseen choice, every moment of alignment is being refined and proven. What remains will be the very substance of what you are entrusted with in the Kingdom.

This connects to the Hebraic idea of s’char -- reward -- not as favoritism, but as a direct result. What you sow affects what you receive. What you handle faithfully influences what you are later entrusted to oversee. This is not about earning salvation -- that is the gift of grace -- but it is about how God entrusts responsibility within His Kingdom.

What may feel small now carries eternal weight. Nothing is wasted. Every act of faithfulness is a seed planted into what is coming.

Your future authority is being formed right now through your present faithfulness. Do not underestimate this season -- nothing is unseen, and nothing is insignificant. Every choice you make, and every quiet act of obedience, is shaping what is ahead. Stay steady, stay aligned, and be faithful in what is in front of you, even when it feels small. The King is not withholding from you -- He is preparing you. What is being proven in the hidden places today will be entrusted with greater responsibility tomorrow. And when the time comes, what was formed in secret will be revealed in authority, and you will hear the words your heart longs for: “Well done, good servant.”

Your family in the Lord with much agape love,

George (Travelling to Israel) & Baht Rivka (Israel)

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for June 4

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for June 4 “Exceedingly Precious ” - Malachi 3:17 A day is coming in which the crown jewels of our great King shall be counted, that it may be seen whether they answer to the inventory which His Father gave Him. My soul, wilt thou be among the precious things of Jesus? Thou art precious to Him if He is precious to thee, and thou shalt be His "in that day," if He is thine in this day. In the days of Malachi, the chosen of the LORD were accustomed so to converse with each other that their God Himself listened to their talk. He liked it so well that He took notes of it; yes, and made a book of it, which He lodged in His record office. Pleased with their conversation, He was also pleased with them. Pause, my soul, and ask thyself: If Jesus lucre to listen to thy talk would He be pleased with it? Is it to His glory and to the edification of the brotherhood? Say, my soul, and be sure thou sayest the truth. But what...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for June 4

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for June 4 Tozer in the Morning "NOW IT IS THE LORD" Is it possible to become so enamored of God's good gifts that we fail to worship Him, the Giver? Dr. Albert B. Simpson, the founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, invited to preach in a Bible conference in England discovered on his arrival that he was to follow two other Bible teachers. All three had been given the same topic, "Sanctification." From the pulpit, the first speaker made clear his position that sanctification means eradication-the old carnal nature is removed. The second, a suppressionist, advised: "Sit on the lid and keep the old nature down!" Dr. Simpson in his turn quietly told his audience that he could only present Jesus Christ Himself as God's answer. "Jesus Christ is your Sanctifier, your all and in all! God wants you to get your eyes away from the gifts. He wants your gaze to be on the Giver-Christ Himself,"...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for June 8

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for June 8 “Bread corn is bruised” (Isaiah 28:28) The farmer does not gather timothy and blue grass, and break it with a heavy machine. But he takes great pains with the wheat. So God takes great pains with those who are to be of much use to Him. There is a nature in them that needs this discipline. Don’t wonder if the bread corn is treated with the wise, discriminating care that will fit it for food. He knows the way He is taking, and there is infinite tenderness in the oversight He gives. He is watching the furnace you are in lest the heat should be too intense. He wants it great enough to purify, and then it is withdrawn. He knoweth our frame. He will not let any temptation take us but such as is common to man, and He will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that we may be able to bear it. Do you believe in this disciplining love of the Husbandman, and are you trusting Him with the leading and government of your life? Oh, that you w...
