Usability Testing

Part of testing software is determining the usability of an application. Will the end user be able to work with the software to accomplish the desired end? A conscious awareness of my own weakness seems to be the only way I will honestly seek Christ by faith in day-to-day living. I mean by this seeking, as David Powlison says, "...at street level." In actual living, real time, I will not likely seek Christ to live in and through me unless I sense my own inadequacy. The process of testing software involves breaking it in order to reveal what needs to change. God's process of breaking us is designed, at least in part, to reveal what in my heart needs to change. So through the painful experience of my own weakness God shows me what He wants to change in my heart. And as that change, which is an on-going process, takes place, I become usable by God in new ways.
