In the U.S., national and local agencies conduct tests of the emergency broadcast system. The short test interrupts local programming with the advisory, “This is only a test.” Indeed, it isn’t a final outcome of any sort. Just like life. This life is not the final story; it’s preparation for eternity. There are many tests, all of which serve a purpose to prepare us for eternity (2 Corinthians 4:17). So the next time you encounter fear, discouragement or loss of any kind, just remember that it’s only a test.
