The Rambam writes, the more a person learns about who Hashem is, the closer he gets to Him, and the more favor he finds in His eyes. There's a sefer called Tomer Devorah, which explains in detail the attributes of Hashem. Rav Chaim of Sanz said, to learn this sefer is a wondrous segula to be saved from all types of sicknesses and plagues. Simply the reason is because the way we act down here is the way that Hashem treats us from above. And when we learn about the ways of Hashem, and then emulate them, that opens the storehouses of blessing.
One of the middot of Hashem is that He is חפץ חסד, He loves doing kindness. And that is something that we are supposed to emulate.
When we emulate Hashem and have compassion on His children, it opens up the gates of blessing and mercy.
