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.
