What to Do When You Feel Rebellious

Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.  As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance...

1 Peter 1:13-14

You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time...

1 Peter 5:5-6

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.  

Hebrews 5:8

Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

James 4:7

No harm befalls the righteous, but the wicked are filled with trouble.  

Proverbs 12:21

"For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and insubordination is as iniquity and idolatry.  Because you have rejected the word of Yahweh, He has also rejected you from being king."  

1 Samuel 15:23

Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.  For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.  

1 Peter 2:13-15

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.

Hebrews 13:17
