Samuel was just a boy when he worked in God’s Temple.

When he asleep one night, God called his name. Samuel thought it was Eli, the priest. But eventually Eli told Samuel that it was God who was calling.

No-one is too young to hear God speak to them. We usually hear God’s voice when we read the Bible or pray; or listen to other Christians talk about God.

God can speak to us today.
