An Ordination Challenge

AN ORDINATION CHALLENGE

On this special day when you are here ordained,
Remember all the truths in which you have been trained.
Determine now to live in purity each day,
In God’s will now abide as humbly now you pray.
No turning back to sin, no running from God’s will,
And trusting His supply to all your needs fulfill.
Today’s a special day, one holy, high, and fair;
It’s time to trust your life to His desires there.
On this day look to God for plans He has for you,
Not doubting any way what He can through you do.

--Dedicated to Brandon Fowler for his ordination, December, 2013
