Truths from the Song of Moses

The final words of Moses to the people of Israel before his death and them entering the promise land included a powerful song in Deuteronomy 32:1-43.

1) We are to listen to the teachings of God, and be drenched by them to our very root for they will bring life and refreshment to us.
2) We are to praise and worship Him because He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just.
3) We are foolish and unwise if we do not live godly lives. When we do not obey Him we lack understanding and respect for our Father, and Creator.
4)  God shields us and cares for us; he guarded us as the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them and carries them aloft. He not only protects us, but teaches us to fly with Him in the high places, where He wants us to dwell.
5) God abundantly provides for His people.
6) If we turn our back on God our Rock and Savior to live unholy lives, God will punish us or discipline us and even reject us if we continue in our rebellion towards Him.
7) Yet, God's punishment and discipline will not last for ever when we recognize our sin and turn back to Him.
8) God puts to death and brings life. He wounds and  heals. No one can deliver out of His hand.
