The reading today relates Moses' reminder to the Israelites of God's goodness to them in their desert travels, how He provided for them, and how if they remember to keep His commandments they would be well taken care of in the promised land.
It is definitely interesting how in that time and place the blessings and provision of God were almost entirely dependent on the actions of people (in following Him), but now we are covered by Christ's blood and His sacrifice means that we don't have to be 100% perfect - which we as humans can't be anyways. Of course that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for it, but it is a great relief to know that a single failure won't doom us.
