Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, “I will give this land to your descendants.” And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him. After that, Abram traveled south and set up camp in the hill country, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built another altar and dedicated it to the Lord, and he worshiped the Lord. – Genesis 12:7-8 One of our core beliefs and favorite phrases at Pursuit NYC is that “The best is yet to come.” Knowing that the God we worship is the God who promises to “give life and life to the fullest” (John 10:10), we contend, expect, and believe for God to move in powerful ways in our lives, schools, workplaces, and nations. But I believe that one of the greatest battles our generation faces is struggling with timelines. It’s easy to hear, read, and see what other people are doing these days and compare our lives to theirs. We might think, “I should be dating/married by now… I should have kids by now… I should be at this point in my career by now… I should be this type of person/spouse/friend by now… I should be further along by now…” And while the best is yet to come, I believe that it’s difficult for many of us to love God right where we are.

The Bible says that the Father is looking for worshipers who will worship Him in Spirit and in truth. I believe that God is truly raising up men and women who are lovers of His presence in these last days. These are the people of God who genuinely walk with Him daily. Without a doubt, one of those worshipers is Andrew Meher, who is currently serving as the worship pastor at The River. Andrew Meher & The River practicing for the Open Up the Roof release event This past Sunday I had a chance to sit down and talk with Andrew about worship, revival, and his new album, Open Up the Roof. It was an awesome time of just hearing his heart for the Lord and the region. Many times we want to have great songs rather than a great move of God. Yet we forget that every move of God births new creative expressions of who He is and what He is doing in the here and now. In a way these songs are markers of where we were and where we are going in the things of God. Whenever God moves, He births new anthems. And you definitely get a sense of that when you listen to Andrew’s new album. Interviewing Andrew for Pursuit NYC’s podcast Andrew’s new album will be coming out this Friday, February 21. There will be a special album release event and worship night coinciding with the release.
