Speak, Lord

Name Date

Read the Story

Samuel was a boy. He lived at God's house. One night he lay down to sleep. God's lamp was still lit. Then God called, Samuel!

Samuel ran to Eli. He said, Here I am. Eli said he did not call. This happened three times. Then Eli knew God was calling. He told Samuel what to say.

God called again. Samuel said, Speak; for your servant hears. God told him a hard message about Eli's family. In the morning Samuel told Eli all of it. God was with Samuel as he grew.

Memory Verse

Yahweh came, and stood, and called as at other times, “Samuel! Samuel!” Then Samuel said, “Speak; for your servant hears.”
