All In The Preparation

Chazal ask why does it say (19:1) ביום הזה באו מדבר סיני in the present tense, it should be past tense; they came on that day?  They explain that the present tense is used to tell you that Torah should be fresh to you every day.  Why would this drasha be hinted at here, this wasn't the giving of the Torah, it was only the preparation?  Rav Tzadok explains that the freshness in Torah experience only happens to one who is anxious, eager and exited to learn Torah.  It is the attitude with which one goes to seder that will determine if he will be learning a living Torah or a dry, old text.
