וּבוֹ תִדְבָק - ...and you should attach yourself to Him...(Devorim 10:20)

Rav Meir Simcha HaKohen of Dvinsk zt”l in his sefer Meshech Chochma (Eikev, 10:20) explains that the mitzva of d’veikus (being attached to Hashem) is fulfilled when a person recognizes that Hashem is constantly concerned for his wellbeing and is continually taking care of him.

You probably know that a person should make a commitment to keep mitzvos (mekabel ol mitzvos) when he says the 2nd paragraph of Sh’ma (Mishna Brachos 2:2). But did you know that when a person makes a commitment - a serious, unconditional resolve - to do mitzvos, Hashem gives him new, extra strength to fulfill those mitzvos?! [see Ma’ayan Beis Hashoeva by Rav Shimon Schwab, beginning of parshas Vayigash]
