Concluding our exploration of Psalm 23, we see in verses 5 and 6 the destination and rewards as we finally achieve the rest at the end of our walk. People of the world who looked down upon the followers of God and His commandments will watch as the keepers of His word will be raised up and rewarded for their service and obedience. The shepherd goes ahead and examines the pastures so the sheep do not feast on the wrong things that would make them sick, keeping them from gorging on false rewards and harmful food. They are defended against harmful ideas, symbolized as parasites, while the shepherd anoints their head with oil, providing protection. The end shows that the pasture for the sheep is the "House of the Lord" where God's called out ones will dwell forever. By accepting the guidance of the Shepherd, we are taught to avoid the cup of wrath and have the cup of blessings overflow in that pasture.
