1. The people of Israel went from being a respected group of people in Egypt to being thrown into slavery overnight when the Pharaoh who had no ties to them decided that they would be a threat to Egyptian national security.
What I've learned specifically about God and His nature from the given passages out of Exodus are that He is a merciful God that watches over us and answers us when we ask for help in our lives. God specifically heard their cries and was moved to have compassion for them and provided a way for them to get out of bondage by calling a prophet and a person who He was going to help them get out of Egypt.
I think that this is applied in our personal struggles that we have and that we really need to remember that the Lord is there for us waiting for us to ask for help and to give him permission to help us and pull us out of the struggles that beset all of us.
I AM means I exist and is the most commonly used name referring to Deity in the Old Testament. The reason the Lord told Moses to say he was sent by I AM is because obviously this is how the children of Israel knew him.
