(Hebrews 13:17),KJV. Obey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

The terms "obey" and "submit" from the preceding scripture are the two words that must be considered. But in my opinion, you may grasp the entire Bible without knowing Hebrews. However, a Hebrew dictionary will do a good job of defining Biblical vocabulary rather than relying entirely on an English dictionary.
The Hebrew word for "obey" is called 'SHAMA', which is translated into English as "hear," "listen," "give attention to," "understand," "obey," and "submit." These two terms defy the typical interpretations and definitions of the English dictionary.
From what I understand, there will be a combination of joy and weeping on the day of judgment. Many examples of what I'm saying here are found in the Bible.
Over the years, I kept a journal where I wrote down the names of the people I frequently prayed for. There are a few people I haven't talked to or seen in a long time. Just consider how crucial this is to me right now as a person.
A few questions need to be answered in order to unlock your future, and they are as follows:
1) Do you even know the people the Lord has appointed to watch over you? If so, do you submit yourself to them according to scripture?
2) A teachable person, are you? Do you have the self-control to respect and honor your superior?
3) Finally, but certainly not least, do you care about the welfare of those who are watching over you?
You can probably determine what kind of future you have by being completely honest in your answers to those questions. Whoever receives much must also give much in return. Just as it is everywhere else, commitment to the Lord is crucial in this kingdom. Prayerfully studying this verse; Matthew 10:41, KJV; He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.'
Remember the man or woman of God who supported you when it seemed like you were going nowhere. Whether you succeed or fail, it'll depend on how you handle such relationship right now. After reading and yielding for the sake of the Lord's name, I pray that the Lord would give you divine guidance in Jesus Name.
