There could be no better and fitting way for Moses to conclude his blessing of the different tribes than to talk about their majestic God. So in Deuteronomy 33:26-29, Moses rounded up with telling about the majestic God who had saved them and would be their refuge forever. In four verses Moses so appropriately described the magnitude of God to encourage the children of Israel as they march forward to take the promised land.
Moses first talks about the incomparable magnificent God. There has
never been one like Him and there will never be one like Him. Though He
possesses both heaven and earth, He majestically rules and rides the heavens.
According to verse 27, He will be the eternal dwelling place of His
people.
He would not only sustain them but
would also protect them. And they would be safe and secure in the strong
embrace of His everlasting arms. He would drive out the enemy of His people,
and for His people, He would destroy the enemies. He would enable His people to
dwell securely and confidently in the land. Verse 28 promised that they would
be wonderfully provided with necessary material on earth and refreshing dew
from heaven.
The last verse described how blessed Israel would be with this majestic God. No other people had been as privileged as the people of Israel. They were saved by the Lord and now would be protected by Him. Every enemy would flinch and cower but not Israel His people. Because with God on their side, they would tread on high places.
This conclusion is a timely reminder for us. As God’s new covenant people, we will also experience His blessings. He will also be our strength and portion forever. He will both protect and provide for us in our pilgrimage. As we journey with Him be sure to make Him our dwelling place forever. That’s the safest place for us to be. There’s nowhere else!
