God's Unchanging, Lifelong Care
All commentators highlight that God's care is constant and unchanging, unlike human parental care which naturally diminishes over time. While a mother's care ceases before old age, God's fatherly and mother-like support endures for a lifetime. The phrase 'I am he' signifies that God is eternally the same in His love, power, and faithfulness from the moment of our spiritual birth until our final day.
