"One night when Samuel was sleeping, he heard someone calling him: 'Samuel!' He ran to Eli, but Eli said: 'I did not call you.' This happened two more times. After the third time, Eli told Samuel that if he heard the voice again, he should say: 'Please, Jehovah, speak; I am listening." So that is what Samuel did. Then Jehovah said to Samuel: 'Tell Eli that I will punish his family for the bad things they have done.' Do you think it was easy for Samuel to give Eli this message? -No, it was not. But even though Samuel was afraid, he did what Jehovah told him to do. What Jehovah said came true. Eli's two sons were killed, and Eli died too.
Samuel is a good example for us. He did what was right even though he saw other people doing bad things. What about you? Will you be like Samuel and keep doing what is right? If you do, you will make both Jehovah and your parents happy.
