Deuteronomy 15:5 KJV COMMENTARY MEANING https://bible.com/bible/1/deu.15.5.KJV
God says it is only when one is careful to do his laws that the accompanying blessings come.
It is not by shabbily doing what one wants or partial obedience.
God wants full scale commitment to him.
Same way it behoves on us as Christians to day to be deliberate in keeping the laws of God and walking in love and holiness. https://bible.com/bible/1/deu.15.5.KJV
