A person willing to do God's will should be humble and the work they do should be to glorify God. There are still consequences for sin if you are disobedient though.

Because he has humbled himself, I will not bring this disaster in his day, but I will bring it on his house in the days of his son." Deuteronomy 8:2 Remember how the LORD your God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you and to test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
