“Listen To Me”
Have you ever said, “listen to me” to someone? Have you ever had someone say to you, “Listen to me!” I’m sure as children we all heard this from our parents. And now as parents and grandparents we say to our children, “You better listen to what I am telling you.”
Jimbo Fisher is the head coach for the Florida State Seminoles. Deondre Francois is their new freshman quarterback. The Seminoles played against Ole Miss on Monday night. The announcers shared that Coach Fisher said he had to constantly remind his young quarterback to, “listen to what I am saying.” The Seminoles quarterback passed for 419 yards in Florida State's 45-34 comeback victory over Ole Miss. Apparently Deondre listened to what Coach Fisher was saying.

Deuteronomy 4:1(NKJV) “Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I teach you to observe, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers is giving you.
Psalm 81:12-14 (NKJV) 12 So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, To walk in their own counsels. 13 “Oh, that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!
Proverbs 13:1

John 8:43
Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
