Mystery of Expectation
Hey everyone,
My name's Kurt Prond. I got into worship leading in High school when I started a band with some friends, and have kind of known since then it's what I am called to do(until I hear otherwise) I ended up leading a group at St. Olaf college that Mike and Nathan actually started, and am now the minister of worship at Emmaus Church in Northfield, MN.
My thought: I was listening to "Behold the Lamb" a christmas album by Andrew Peterson recenctly. Anyone familiar with it? Anyway, the album tells the Christmas story, but starts with creation, and goes through King David and the prophets...really good stuff. The whole album seems to capture this sense of expectation of the fullfilling of these mysterious prophecies of a King who will come to rule with justice and righteousness and a sword in His fist...and I've been thinking, "Do we live with that expectation?" It seems that we get so used to doing what we do, that we stop expecting The Lord to actually show up and change our lives when we are leading worship. It becomes routine. But I think God honors our expectation when we earnestly wait for him. Thoughts?
