Great Ideas that Shape Leadership (part 2)

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything. Life sure is full, and I love it that way. My family has been enjoying vacation with Jessica's family in Charllottesville. Picking up from where I left off, here's another idea that shapes our view and practice of leadership:

God is omnipotent (Daniel 4:34-35). Like a benevolent dictator exercising power over his realm, the omnipotence of God is his use of power over his creation. Grudem says that this attribute "has reference to his own power to do what he decides to do" (Grudem, 216). In other words, nothing can frustrate his will. He is able to accomplish all his will. God exercises power to get done his plans, to bring about results that reflect his character and are good for his people. Wish you could do that?

Now what does this have to do with leadership? In the next post I'll share one implication of this attribute for leadership.
