Prayer for Today, Tuesday, February 1

God of Tender Mercies,

Our prayer today is for those who are being affected by this winter storm. Watch over the elderly, infirm and those without adequate warmth or shelter. Bless them, O Lord, with the embrace of Your everlasting arms and the kindness of their neighbors. In Jesus name we pray, AMEN.

I received another email from Charlie Heller:
Trip to St. John's hospital, Tulsa, was a great success.
Dr. Lawless was able to reestablish the fistula in her left arm for dialysis and remove the temp. Port from the side of her neck.
She actually was kind of funny coming home, they released her still under a lot of anesthesia so we could get home before the storm hit.
God bless you all, our Central family, and please keep the prayers coming.
Again, God bless, Charlie Heller.

We celebrate Judi’s successful procedure and pray for her continued recovery.

The church is CLOSED today and all scheduled events are canceled. We will check the weather tomorrow and determine whether to cancel tomorrow’s activities. The big issue will be the temperature. CWF has already canceled their meetings for tomorrow.

The scripture for today is Exodus 3:13-15; 21-22:
13But Moses said to God, “If I come to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ what shall I say to them?” 14God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” He said further, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘I AM has sent me to you.’“ 15God also said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you’: This is my name forever, and this my title for all generations.
21I will bring this people into such favor with the Egyptians that, when you go, you will not go empty-handed; 22each woman shall ask her neighbor and any woman living in the neighbor’s house for jewelry of silver and of gold, and clothing, and you shall put them on your sons and on your daughters; and so you shall plunder the Egyptians.”

Grace and peace,

John McLemore
