According to Amy Lyman, the opposite of uncertainty isn’t certainty, its opportunity. Trustworthy leaders move through uncertainty to pursue opportunity. As we saw last week, uncertainty creates the necessary condition for leadership meaning that leadership is rich with uncertainty.
Ineffective leaders require certainty before they act while on the other hand, successful leaders make decisions where outcomes are uncertain. This is what differentiates men from boys. Boys require certainty before they commit to marrying the lady they have been seeing for several years now. Men on the other hand will make decisions where the outcomes are uncertain. After all who said that there is any certainty in marriage?
As we look forward into the New Year, 2012, there is too much uncertainity ahead of us. We are not sure whether will have elections this year or next year. Even if we have them this year, we are uncertain whether they will be peaceful or not. We really don’t know what the year holds for us even though we are hoping for the best. That is just how life is. But in the midst of all these uncertainties’ one thing is certain, God will be there with and for us.
"I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.” (Isaiah 42:16).
