The Shepherd's Perfect Care
Commentators universally see this verse as a picture of a shepherd's tender care. Just as a shepherd provides food, water, and shade in a harsh desert, God provides for every spiritual and physical need of His people. Scholars note this promise applies to the Christian's journey on earth and finds its ultimate fulfillment in heaven, as described in Revelation 7:16-17.
