But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. — Galatians 5:22 The Wait When God spoke to Moses from the burning bush, He made a promise: “I will deliver you from the hand of the Egyptians and lead you into the land flowing with milk and honey” (Exodus 3:17). The Israelites had been slaves in Egypt for 400 years. When Moses returned and told them God had heard their cries, they must have felt hope rising.
