Commentators highlight the phrase "him that dwelt in the bush." This refers to God's appearance to Moses. Scholars see a profound comfort here: just as the bush burned but was not consumed, God's presence sustains His people through fiery trials. This "good will" is God's covenant favor, which is the foundation for all our hope.
