1. Be strong and courageous (1-8)

Israel was about to lose one of their greatest leader, Moses, soon. Before one's death, he or she worries about their posterity, but they don't need to, because God is their true shepherd. God would be with Israel and would never leave them, nor forsake them.

2. Teach your children (9-29)

One of the most effective ways to teach is to teach in music form. God commanded Moses to write down the song of God's word and let people sing it. The children of Israel were supposed to learn of God's mercy and faithfulness. Also this song warns them of the danger of their future corruption and slipping away to idol worship in the land of Canaan. Moses couldn't enter the promised land, yet his Torah and his song would enter the promised land.
