An realisation of our own vulnerability would have to be something we love to loathe more than the haughtiness of others. We hate it so much that we find excuses for our own shortcomings.
Even the apostle Paul required a reminder of his own vulnerability. He was repeatedly wounded by a "thorn in the flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7). Three times he pleaded with the Lord to take it away, but his prayer was denied. Instead, he tapped into God's abundant grace by means of his thorn.
According to the Lord's assurance in v. 9, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness" (v. 9).
We can be powerful weak persons in Christ as long as we acknowledge our weaknesses.
To understand God's power, we must first understand our own. May God's Word be firmly established.
Hour after hour, in my heart
So that everyone can see that I win
only by means of His might.
