Lord I Run To You - Tommy Walker- Worship Video with lyrics
Tommy Walker says, Christians are not strong people, they just know who and where to run...straight to our Heavenly Father. He was going through a difficult period in his life and wrote this song to help him remember Psalm 121.
A few weeks ago the minister of music and chior at my church began to teach the congregation this song. I was pleased to find this on line to share with everyone.
This is a Song I must Sing, Sylvia

February 15, 2011 - Scripture Memory - James 2:12-13 with Testimony
“Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom. For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over judgment.” James 2:12-13
(The NET Bible)
I learned in 2010 to keep my Scripture Memory to only one verse. On Feb 1st vs. 12 was highlited, today v 13 is highlighted. Reading the book, The Heavenly Man the story of Chinese Christian Bro Yun by Paul Hattaway is where I first discovered this verse when I spotted the portion. Mercy Triumps over Judgement. As I read the story of Bro Yun and saw how he expressed his faith I was greatly encouraged in many areas. One of them was scripture memory for when the hard times come His Word will be embedded in my heart.
Last week I became ill with the flu/cold and after a doctor visit at the last minute made the decision not to go on a long awaited and planned for trip to Puerto Rico with my husband. The doctor gave me antibotic but not enough time before the plane left for me to get well enough to make the trip. This was a company trip where Les and I would receive an award for our hard work during the fall of 2010. I insisted that my husband go ahead with the trip plans to be able to go on stage and receive our award.
Prior to departing for this trip Houston has had freezing temperatures for the past two weeks. This is very unusual for this time of year. Then the day he leaves the sun comes out and the weather has been beautiful. It is like God telling me that though He kept me from being in Puerto Rico, He improved the weather in Houston that I might enjoy.
I am sad that I was unable make the trip and know that for my husband going without me has not been easy either. However I have learned during this time of being set apart that when I speak out loud the Names of God, His Presence seems to immediately become apparent. I praise His Name for the Power of God and just speaking the Names of God in my life today.
With my Sacrifice of Worship in missing the trip God has provided all my needs. Our daughter and her precious family came by early Saturday morning picked up Les and took him to the airport and left me breakfast. When speaking with a friend by phone on Friday insisted on preparing food for me to deliver on Saturday. God gave me the grace to accept as this friend is such a gourmet cook. Mid Saturday morning she arrived and set two bags just inside my front door and said that everything I need is in there with instructions. The soup she prepared has been healing for me and has lasted for three days.
Jesus is speaking in John 10:10 The Thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. Later in the day when I began to feel better and began to think about everything I knew I was missing and had looked so forward to was the enemey on my trail.
In God's amazing Grace and Mercy, several of God's angels called to encourage me and lift me up. Sunday morning I was able to go to church by the webcast and was so blessed to sing with the chior Psalm 121 and listen to my pastor teach from John 7 then talk about how Jesus is the only one that can bring true satisfaction in our lives. He continued on and spoke of nothing was wrong with him or his family but he was experiencing what he called a February Funk. I related. Then he began to speak out loud the names of God and God's glory over the internet came through to me in a mighty way. I pray God for the ways in which He leads me.
By Sunday noon, I finally felt well enough to shower and wash my hair and get dressed. Les has been wonderful to call, make video clips and stay in contact with me. Also many friends are praying and have called to check on me. This has been a most unusal experience but one ordained by God and I feel very blessed.
Les and I have spent Valentines Day in Houston, Hawaii and were suppose to spend it together in Puerto Rico. My man has made it special for me with his phone calls, videos and other friends continuing to pray and call and check on me. Jesus is the very best Valentine as His Love is the most unconditional of all. Praise the Name of Jesus.
The antibotic is working and each day I am getting stronger but staying out of crowds and spending time with The Maker of Heaven and Earth. As I close this blog post I am so thankful for reading Bro Yun's story to remind me how blessed I am. During this time my scripture Memory verses are sustaining me and most important is Psalm 121 thought I do not have the music it was set to that I am learning at church this is a Psalm I must sing to the LORD.
Psalm 121 (NIV) A song of ascents.
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains--- where does my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
3 He will not let your foot slip--- He who watches over you will not slumber;
4 indeed, He who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD watches over you---the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
6 the sun will not harm you by day, no the moon by night.
7 The LORD will keep you from all harm--- he will watch over your life;
8 the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

James 2:12 Feb 1st Scripture Memory
“Speak and act as those who will be judged by a law that gives freedom. For judgment is merciless for the one who has shown no mercy. But mercy triumphs over judgment.” James 2:12-13 The NET Bible
I learned in 2010 to keep my Scripture Memory to only one verse. So I will be posting and highlighting v 13 on Feb 15th. I read The Heavenly Man the story of Chinese Christian Bro Yun by Paul Hattaway where I first discovered this verse when I spotted the portion. Mercy Triumps over Judgement. As I read the story of Bro Yun and saw how he expressed his faith I was greatly encouraged in many areas. One of them was scripture memory for when the hard times come His Word will be embedded in my heart.
As I focus on verse 12 and see the word FREEDOM I realize the life of faith in Jesus Christ is the only place where TRUE FREEDOM abides. Praise the name of Jesus Christ and the blood He shed on the cross for me and all my sin. God came to earth in the form of man (Jesus) and lived a perfect life that though I am imperfect I have a role model to follow. Heaven is my eternal home. Hallelujah.
Heavenly Father Help me live today as I speak and act that will glorify your Holy Name. In Jesus name, Amen.
