[:en]Samuel was a great prophet who had two sons, Joel and Abijah. But unlike their father, they were corrupt and “turned aside after dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice (1 Samuel 8:3). Years later, Heman, the son of Joel and the grandson of Samuel along with Asaph, served the Lord by singing joyful songs. (1 Chron. 15:16-17)
Sometimes, children do not follow their parents example of faith in God. But God is still at work. The seeds of faith may spring to life in generations to come because “the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations” (Psalms 100:5)[:]
