3:8
The time in the wilderness is viewed as a time of rebellion, and of testing. The people rebelled generally by complaining at every opportunity, and most specifically when they refused to go into the Promised Land. Trusting the Lord has to be our default position. Whatever the circumstances that we face, we can trust the Lord, and we must trust the Lord. This goes against our fallen nature, and we need the help of the Holy Spirit in order to do this.
3:9
The people had no excuse. For they had seen what the Lord had done. They had seen how He got them out of Egypt in the first instance. Then they had seen how he made a way for them at the Red Sea, and drowned the Egyptian army. After then there were several occasions where they had seen the miraculous provision of the Lord in terms of water and food. Seeing is not believing! We need a change of heart, we need to be born again.
