After God rescued the israelites from the Egyptians, he led them into the Sinai desert. Only God was able to keep them alive. He fed them and took care of them. Then God called for a huge prayer meeting, where he would come down to Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. When they needed him the most, God revealed his presence. When we are absolutely powerless to do anything on our own, that seems to be when God is there to pick us up, and work in and through us. As the israelites wandered through the desert, they had no choice but to rely on god's provision for them. Can we challenge ourselves to stop relying on our own strengths, and really lean on the one who loves us enough, and cares for us enough to die so we will be provided for?
