Trials

The Jewish people were led into the desert in order that their faith and love might be tested and purified by their experience.  Their refusal to accept these trials was a rebellion against God.  They thwarted His designs and asked for a tangible sign — we remember what took place.

God will lead us and test us as He did the Chosen People, and we must beware of asking for a sign other than to deepen our faith and love.
