F5 - Refresh is a new feature on the right sidebar. It will include up to five refreshing, encouraging Bible scriptures.
If you click on the link you can read the scripture in context or even have it read to you.
Why F5?
F5 is one of several function keys on the top of most keyboards. Pressing the F5 key in Internet browsers and various other programs causes the page to ‘refresh’.
Why Refresh
a Web page?
- A Web page loads incorrectly. -
Sometimes a page takes too long to load, it stays blank, or the pictures don’t show up.
If you’re not viewing it as the designer intended, you need to press F5. - A Web page may have been updated. - Sometimes your browser shows an
old version of a Web page. You must check the server for the latest update or
you’ll be stuck with stale, out of date content. If you’re not getting the very
latest that the author has provided, you need to press F5
Does Life need a F5 button?
Mine does.
- Sometimes my day loads incorrectly. It stalls. Things don’t
look right. I’m definitely not viewing it as the Designer intended. - Sometimes my day needs updated. I’m focusing on the past instead
of the latest the Author has provided.
Updates?
It’s not that God has changed… but as our life progresses he has new things for us. Thomas O. Chisholm wrote Great
is Thy Faithfulness in 1923. In this song the line "As Thou hast been,
Thou forever will be." is followed with "Morning by morning new mercies I see."
Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
- Lamentations 3:22-23
New Every Morning?
I’m not committing to update the F5 - Refresh feature every morning.
But you’re welcome to add your own refreshing scriptures, quotes, and thoughts
in the comments section.
Here are the first five F5 links:
Psalm 32:7
“You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble.”
Zechariah 4:6
‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
Psalm 71
In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame…
Romans 8:15
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of sonship.
Romans 9:33
…the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.








Well, reading that left me feeling refreshed. I hope writing it refreshed you as well.

How beautifully coincidental. Yesterday at work we interceded for my boss’ mom, who has inoperable liver cancer. The verses we read were also from Lamentations 3:21-23. We were so encouraged to be reminded that we never run out of God’s faithfulness.
Sending a prayer up for you! (Judi’s friend who reads Judi’s friends’ blogs…)
