During Moses' journey on Mt Sinai, God speaks to him from the burning bush. He tells him that he is aware of the plight that the Israelites are undergoing, that he has heard their cries and knows of their oppression. He lets Moses know that he plans to bring them to a better place to live.
But we know that after that, there was much to set into place to get everyone out, and then a journey afterwards that was long and arduous.
Just because things don't seem like they're happening on the surface, doesn't mean God hasn't heard us cry out, or that he doesn't see someone harming our lives. He is setting things in motion to come get us during those times.
