Why do the Jewish people sing a song at the end of their 40 years for the miraculous well that accompanied them throughout that time? What were the awesome miracles that occurred at this time that paralleled the miracles at the Yam Suf (sea of reeds)? Why were the waters of the well used to inform the Jewish people about the miracle that had been done for them? Why did the mountain on the side of Israel extend out toward the mountain outside of Israel?

Re'eh - Climbing God's Mountain
Why does the Torah command the people of Israel to place the blessings and curses on mountains? What is the concept of a mountain? What is the connection between ratzon-will and shemo-God's name? How does a false prophet have the ability to perform a true miracle? How does one use that power in its proper way - in one's service of Hashem?

Moshiach's appointed time
ליל שימורים הוא לה' להוציאם מארץ מצרים הוא הלילה הזה לה' שימרים לכל בני ישראל לדורותם - A night of protection is it unto Hashem, to take them out of the land of Egypt, [such is] this night unto Hashem, protection for all of the children of Israel for all their generations. (Shemos 12:42)
The ba'al haturim writes that the verse repeats the word שימורים - protection - to teach that Hakadosh baruch Hu split the night into two halves, one half for the Exodus from Egypt, and the other half for the future redemption.
Sforno writes that just as Hashem was anxiously awaiting (משמר - שימורים) for the redemption of the Jewish people as long as they were exiled in Egypt, so too He anxiously awaits the future redemption of Israel. He also explains that when the verse says that this night will be for all the children of Israel for all their generations, it means that just as the Exodus occurred in Nissan, so too the future redemption will occur in Nissan (See Rosh Hashana 11A).
The Or Hachaim explains the passuk as referring to five different miraculous events that occur on the night of the 15th of Nissan. 1) Avraham's victory over the four kings, 2) The Exodus from Egypt, 3) In the days of Chizkiyah when Gavriel struck Sancherev's army, 4) In the times of Mordechai & Esther when Achashverosh awoke at midnight and 5) The future redemption.
See Shirat Devorah's post relating to this.

Beshalach - Accessing the supernatural
Why are we specifically told to tell the story (lesaper) of the Exodus?
Why was Moshe told not to Daven at Yam suf?
How did the Jews survive if they were equally deserving of death because they too served idolatry?
How do we tap into the world of the supernatural and miraculous?
