Times Of Refreshing Daily Devotional
Date: Sunday, 28 December 2025
Topic: Closing the Chapter With God (1)
Focus: Recognizing the Season You Are In
🔥Theme:
As the year comes to an end, God invites us to pause—not to rush ahead, but to reflect. This series is a sacred moment to look back with honesty, gratitude, and humility, and to release what this year carried into God’s hands. Through reflection and surrender, we learn how to close one chapter with peace so we can enter the next without burden. These devotionals will help you finish the year gently, faithfully, and anchored in God.
📖 Key Verse:
“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” — Ecclesiastes 3:1
Devotional:
Every year carries different moments—joy and sorrow, gain and loss, clarity and confusion. Ecclesiastes reminds us that life moves in seasons, and each season has meaning. Before closing this chapter, it is important to recognize the season you just walked through. Some seasons stretched you. Others strengthened you. Some taught you lessons you didn’t ask for—but needed.
📖 Scripture Reading:
- Ecclesiastes 3:1–8 — Understanding seasons in God’s timing
- Psalm 77:11 — Remembering the works of the Lord
- Romans 8:28 — God works through every season
💧 Refreshing for the Day:
So, beloved, reflection helps us honor what God has done, even when the journey was hard. Recognizing the season helps you release it with peace. When we name the season honestly, we make room for peace and healing. God was present in every moment of it.
✨ Note This:
📖 You cannot close a chapter well if you refuse to acknowledge what it contained.
🛡️ Responsibility:
Take a quiet moment today and ask: “Lord, what season was this year for me?”
🙏 Prayer:
Father, thank You for carrying me through every season of this year. Help me recognize what You have done, what You have taught me, and where You were present. I surrender this year into Your hands. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
🔥 Prophetic Declaration:
I close this chapter with understanding and peace. Every season of this year has served God’s purpose in my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
As always, thank you for reading and until next time. May today’s Times of Refreshing refresh, encourage and empower you! For previous devotionals, please visit: www.thefountspring.org
