According to Wikipedia ….
Ambiguity (Am-big-u-i-ty) is the property of being ambiguous, where a word, term, notation, sign, symbol, phrase, sentence, or any other form used for communication, is called ambiguous if it can be interpreted in more than one way. Ambiguity is distinct from vagueness, which arises when the boundaries of meaning are indistinct. Ambiguity is context-dependent: the same communication may be ambiguous in one context and unambiguous in another context. For a word, ambiguity typically refers to an unclear choice between different definitions as may be found in a dictionary. A sentence may be ambiguous due to different ways of parsing the same sequence of words.
We’re learning to live in the ambiguity of adverse circumstances although, in the flesh, it’s perhaps normal to long for answers and certainty. The challenge of living a life of faith, especially on Irene’s journey, demands that we balance the ambiguous tensions that are ever present. Our response is reduced to this …. endeavoring to “live in the present” without presuming upon the future …. whatever that future may realize.
Irene feels that the three days of afternoon dialysis treatments last week have been a positive change. She’s able to accomplish more in the mornings prior to each session and doesn’t have the early alarm clock to contend with.
Don’t let Irene’s winsome smile below mask her intense discomfort. Today’s been very rough. She’s endured extreme fatigue, unrelenting nausea and several emotional meltdowns. She refuses to be a “victim” through it all, however, and recommended we take a casual coastal drive for a change of scenery.
According to dictionary.com ….
AMBIGUITY is an expression whose meaning cannot be determined from its context, or unclearness by virtue of having more than one meaning.
Amidst the adverse circumstantial ambiguity, we rely upon the certainty of God’s character, His unchanging Word, His indwelling Holy Spirit, and His promise of eternal life. The challenges of this world pale in comparison to our HOPE for a better tomorrow and eternity with Him.
