Trustworthy Him
By Margaret D. Mitchell
Week of December 28, 2025
As we enter into this new year with our hopes and dreams and our goals and purposes, we can remember that God is trustworthy. We can trust that He is with us, He knows what is best for us, He will do what He said He would do and that we and our assignments are valuable to His Kingdom.
Webster’s defines trustworthy as “worthy of confidence” and “dependable.” Strong’s concordance (#4103), defines it as “faithful.” It can also mean “to confirm, support” and to “establish” (#539). It can mean to “build up” to “believe” and to “bring up.”
Psalm 111:7 TPT assures us that “All God accomplishes is flawless, faithful, and fair, and his every word proves trustworthy and true.”
This is good news because we’ll need Him and His perfect guidance to help us all throughout this new year and beyond as He brings His words to pass in our lives.
For many, this is the year they’ve waited for. It’s the year of the door (on the Hebrew calendar) when they will step out of the old and into the new to begin to receive their big promised breaks. This is not to say, everything will happen in 2024. But it will begin to happen with even more to come in 2025.
By now, you’ve probably experienced some old doors closing, some transitional shifts, some clarity of direction, and God even settling some matters that have weighed on your heart.
But there’s much more to come as God moves many onward into a whole new beginning that will touch every area of their lives.
A couple of weeks ago, Holy Spirit revealed that He’s bringing in some “pillars” to help “support” this new reality. In fact, these support pillars are actually “doorposts,” upon which the door is hinged. If you research the word “doorpost,” you’ll find that it’s another definition of the word “trustworthy” (Strong’s #539, Brown-Driver-Briggs)!
We know that Jesus is our Door. The One who brings a close to divine assignments, including opportunities and relationships, and the One who opens new ones.
So, these support pillars of the Door will be people God will bring into the lives of His faithful ones, who will be assigned as long-standing constants that will believe in them, bring out the best in them and help them rise. They will be strong, stable and secure. They will be established and will function as a gracious resource and even a kind of guardian. They will be dependable, purposed people that God has made trustworthy to help others fulfill their purpose in life.
And, in some cases, it will mean they will even nurse people back to stability.
This is good news because it means that many are coming into new, strong relationship assignments, some of which may prove surprising. Some of which may even feel like reassignments as God brings in familiar people to be a part of His full-circle, outward blessings.
But even the familiar ones will serve in a new role and purpose for the long-haul that will prove out God’s plan. They will offer a sense of completeness with developed skills and extensive value with many benefits.
There will also be many entirely new people, as God expands the reach of their missions.
One important element in all of this is to know when to let go of the past while moving forward. A focus on Jesus is imperative, as doing so sets the right trajectory that will hit the mark on time.
Paul encourages us in Philippians 3:12 TPT by saying, “run with passion into his abundance so that I may reach the purpose for which Christ Jesus laid hold of me to make me his own.”
Paul assures us in 1 Thessalonians 5:24 TPT that “The one who calls you by name is trustworthy.”
So, we can depend on God to help us and know that He will bring it to pass. We just need to submit to Him in obedience and follow His lead into the Godly manifestations of His promises for which we have held to faith.
Pray with me if you will . . .
Dear Lord,
Thank You for being perfect and faithful. Thank You for Your beautiful plan for my life.
I invite You to cut the ties in my life that bind me to whatever You are finished with. I choose to move faithfully forward with You into new assignments, according to Your plan for me.
I forgive and bless everyone in my present and from my past and pray only good things for them. I trust that You love them and will guide willing hearts into Your beauty.
In Jesus’ Mighty Name,
Amen.
