Temporal and spiritual blessings will abound in Israel if the people keep the commandments—Cursing, scourging, and desolation will be theirs if they disobey the Lord—When His people repent, the Lord will show mercy unto them.

• Leviticus

• The Lord blesses our efforts to provide for ourselves. He will provide the rain, but he will not plant our crops. See also Malachi 3.
