Here in this chapter we read of Moses exhorting Israel to carefully obey the Lord's commands. The Lord taught them in their wilderness journey the importance and necessity of living their lives according to God's Word.
Israel will enter into a good and prosperous land and there was a real danger of being intoxicated by prosperity. In their success and prosperity, there is a real tendency to think and believe that it was their own hand and power that brought them all that they had. So Moses had to review and remind them what the Lord has done for them in rescuing them from Egypt and in sustaining them in the wilderness.
They have to realize and learn that it was God, keeping His covenant with their fathers, that brought them into a good and prosperous land. That if they disobey Him and turn to idols, they could easily perish in His judgment.
