God appears and renews his covenant with people in difficult situations, reviving them and giving them a new sense of purpose. This is seen in several Biblical examples: God appeared to Abram and he became the father of many nations; God appeared to Noah and he gained passion for his divine assignment; God appeared to Moses and he became a renowned deliverer. When God appears, he restores and empowers people to fulfill his promises.
