Deuteronomy is always encouraging, just as it was when first discovered. So often we hear, “Oh but that's in the Old Testament,” as if Jesus wasn't around then or somehow reality was different. So let's go with The New Testament to illustrate their error. John's Gospel is also very encouraging highlighting new ways of thinking, yes that's true, but thinking about the same subject and the same person as referred to in Deuteronomy.
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
That is about Jesus. He made the world, the stars, everything. He interacted with His creation and may be found, as Deuteronomy explains, and as Christians will testify. The Old Testament is very relevant today and people suggesting otherwise are wrong. Jesus said so Himself and John's Gospel provides the context.
