Into Thy Word______________Another Test And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope. (Romans 5:3-4, NKJV) Another test—in life your character, faith, obedience, love, integrity, loyalty, etc… will be tested. Therefore, be on guard—watch what you say and how you act because your character is both developed and revealed by testing. Remember you are always being tested and the world is watching to see how you respond to people, problems, success, conflict, illness, disappointment and even the weather. Life is filled with tests some have warnings and some don’t. Are you prepared for the test(s) in your life? Tests are used to gauge a student’s amount of knowledge and experience, not just what was taught in school. Most people don’t realize that the teacher was preparing you for life tests. Remember when you were in school and the teacher would announce that there will be a test on Friday. You may replied, not another test. If you flunked the test, they would retest you on the same subject—many times until you passed with a grade of C. Many don’t realize that warnings are there to prepare you for upcoming disaster. "The following is only a test of the Emergency Broadcasting System." The Emergency Alert System (EAS)–the people must be primed to listen closely to certain kinds of broadcasts designed to alert the public of local weather emergencies such as tornadoes and flash floods. Unlike school & EAS, there is no announcement that is a test. Like school you will face the many tests until you graduate and in life until you die. In life you will face the same test over and over until you operate in a manner that is consistent with the word of God. God is constantly watching and you should ask yourself, “Is God pleased with my behavior?” Do I have peace in the midst of a storm—test? youtu.be/NpMOIiqzbCU?t=18s
