How do we know that God's power shines through weaknesses?

The Apostle Paul illustrates this in 2 Corinthians 4:7, stating that we have this treasure in earthen vessels so that the excellency of the power may be of God and not of us. This emphasizes the idea that God often uses our weaknesses to showcase His power. Just as God delivered Israel through Gideon's small army, demonstrating that victory comes from God alone, He uses our frailties to display His grace and strength in our lives. This ensures that believers do not become proud, but instead, recognize their dependence on God for all things.
