That's HOPE!!
A symbol of a shepherd's abundant generosity, food each day, even in the midst of adversity. Weather and wolves come to mind but trust in the shepherd reigns regardless!
Put your hope in God! Think succinct.
For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. (Psalm 62:5, emphasis mine)
Lord, my Shepherd, is the God of hope!
This designation continues in the NT as an analogy for God's people who now have the Holy Spirit via the triune God. Think Father God, Son of God and Holy Spirit.
Note Scripture citation above the word HOPE...(Romans 15:13)
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
In Romans 15:13 NT, the Greek word for "hope" is ἐλπίς (elpis)
implying assurance of something in the future. The passage uses the genitive form ἐλπίδος (elpidos),referring to the "God of Hope".
