"Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons [Joel and Abijah] judges over Israel....But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice."
I Samuel 8:1, 3
This sounds like a replay of Eli and his sons. Samuel's nepotism was a mistake. Surely he knew the character of his sons. God may call a son to carry on the father's ministry, but it is God's calling – not the father's. A godly father does not guarantee godly children, because following after God's way is a choice each person has to make for himself.
Today's Thought: Following God is a choice each child must make personally.
Have a godly day. Love you.
