And keep the charge of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that thou mayest prosper in all that thou doest, and whithersoever thou turnest thyself:
And follow what the LORD your God requires of you—live according to his ways, obey his rules, commands, decisions, and teachings, just as they are written in the law of Moses. Do this so that you will succeed in everything you do and wherever you go.
God is promising that if we faithfully follow his ways and commands as written in Scripture, we will find success and blessing in all areas of our lives.
