Comfortably Out of Control

5/20/2014

"The task of the leader is the ability to be out of control comfortably."
                                                                -  Terry Beal
      The longer I lead, the more I see how chaotic leadership is.  When you lead people - whether family, church, business, etc. - it is never swiftly managed.  People are not simply numbers on a page, manipulated like an Excel document.  Decisions are rarely cut and dry.  Issues will always arise.  There will always be a level of uncertainty.  Life will never be fully settled.  The "to do list" will never be entirely checked off.  

       Life contains enough chaos to keep us regularly uncomfortable.  We must understand this lest we set the expectation that life is about exercising complete control over our circumstances.  Life is out of control, and this is the ideal place for faith.  Faith - a confidence that there is One in control, standing above and over all that seems uncontrollable.  

Daniel 2:20-23
