In the Bible, God is very clear that those who obey Him receive blessings for their obedience.

Deuteronomy 28 gives a very extensive list of blessings for obedience:

Now if you listen obediently to the voice of ADONAI your God, taking care to do all His mitzvot that I am commanding you today, ADONAI your God will set you on high—above all the nations of the earth. Then all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you listen to the voice of ADONAI your God:

Blessed will you be in the city, and blessed will you be in the field.

Blessed will be the fruit of your womb, the produce of your soil, and the offspring of your livestock—the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.

Blessed will be your basket and your kneading bowl.

Blessed will you be when you come in, and blessed will you be when you go out.

ADONAI will cause your enemies who rise up against you to be struck down before you. They will come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

ADONAI will command the blessing on you in your barns and in every undertaking of your hand, and He will bless you in the land ADONAI your God is giving you. ADONAI will establish you as a holy people for Himself, just as He swore to you—if you keep the mitzvot of ADONAI your God and walk in His ways. Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by the name of ADONAI and they will stand in awe of you.

ADONAI will make you overflow in prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock and the produce of your soil—on the land ADONAI swore to your fathers to give you. ADONAI will open for you His good storehouse—the heavens—to give rain for your land in its season and to bless all the work of your hand. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.

ADONAI will make you the head and not the tail, and you will be only above and not below—if you listen to the mitzvot of ADONAI your God that I am commanding you today, careful to do them… (Deuteronomy 28:1-14 TLV)

There is an even longer list of curses for not obeying God.

How many of us seek his blessings by obedience?

God isn't a vending machine.

Obedience in the bible is always connected to faith.

I knew a farmer that took every grain, land, and farming practice found in the bible and did what was required of him. The stories he tells of crop blessed with the right amount of rain at the right time while his neighbors were not so blessed. In one particular story, he told of how a damaging storm came up against his fence line and no further. Other stories of yearly blessed crop returns vs his neighbors. He said that his neighbors asked him about his "luck" and he witnessed his faithfulness.
