Only the one who went all the way received the blessing.
Says Russell Sewall: "I carried a cheque halfway to the
bank. Did the bank therefore pay me half the value of the cheque?
No; the bank didn't pay me a cent till I went all the way
to the paying teller's window. And then the cheque was paid in full.
Half-trust in God is no trust at all & gets no reward
& that is why so many Christians lead ineffective lives.

“This attitude of complete submission and complete trust is
of course the key to working out our own salvation in fear and trembling and is
the mark of a truly spiritual Christian.”
John F. Walvoord.
Ps 78: 19-22 (GNT): They spoke against God and said, “Can
God supply food in the desert? It is true that he struck the rock, and water
flowed out in a torrent; but can he also provide us with bread and give his
people meat?” And so the LORD was angry when he heard them; he attacked his
people with fire, and his anger against them grew, because they had no faith in
him and did not believe that he would save them.
