Today’s Truth
Deuteronomy 32 records the “Song of Moses,” a poetic summary of God’s relationship with Israel. It recounts God’s faithfulness, Israel’s rebellion, and the consequences of turning away from Him. This chapter serves as both a warning and a reminder of God’s unchanging character.
In verse 4, Moses declares the foundational truth about God: He is the Rock. This image emphasizes God’s stability, reliability, and strength. Unlike human leaders or fleeting circumstances, God remains constant and unshakable. His works are perfect, and His justice is unwavering, even when we fail to understand His ways.
The Song of Moses highlights the contrast between God’s faithfulness and humanity’s tendency to stray. Despite Israel’s unfaithfulness, God’s mercy and justice shine through. He remains committed to His people, even when they forget Him.
