The source:
It states in Scripture[1] that “Ki Hashem Elokecha Beirachicha Bechol Maaseh Yadecha/G-d will bless you and all of your actions.” Rebbe Eliezer the son of Yaakov states that the end of the verse is teaching us that to receive G-d’s blessing it does not suffice for one to sit and do nothing, and rather if one makes effort then he is blessed, and if not then he is not blessed.[2] Likewise, the verse[3] states “Uveirachicha Hashem Elokecha Bechal Asher Taaseh/And G-d will bless you in all that you do.” The Sifri[4] states that from here we learn the foundation, that it is necessary for one to work and place physical effort into those matters that he places his trust in G-d, in order so the blessing of G-d have the receptacle to which it can befall.
