One of Moses’ songs/ poem was written in the last days of his life. It is recorded in the Book of Deuteronomy (32:1-43) , the fifth book of Moses. Those words were delivered  to an assembled Israelites gathering, just prior to Moses’ death on Mt. Nebo. (Deut. 32:3), Moses began to ascribe “greatness to our Lord.” The Rock of ages was thus defined as “an unfailing source of strength” for the Lord is everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4). King David  said,  the Lord was his rock, his fortress, deliverer, strength, shield, stronghold, and the horn of his salvation (Ps. 18:2).  It is unbelievable that the Israelites would exchange a great, true and wise God for false gods. Never should a Holy God be put down as such. God deserves our highest honor (Matt. 6:9). “Hallowed be Your Name” ( Matt. 6:9). He is Holy (I Pet. 1:15). He is the “ I Am,” the only wise and true God of the universe.
