 When you tether yourself to the word of God, you are submitting your will to his as the sovereign king and Lord over your life. Proverbs 19, 21 says, many plans are in a person's heart, but the Lord's decrees will prevail. One of the most well-known of all of the Proverbs, Proverbs 3, 5, and 6, trust in the Lord with all of your heart.
