What does the Bible say about glorying in our weaknesses?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that believers should glory in their weaknesses, as it allows the power of Christ to rest upon them (2 Corinthians 12:9).

The Apostle Paul, in 2 Corinthians 12, explains that he learns to glory in his infirmities as it is in his weakness that the strength of Christ is made perfect. Paul realizes that acknowledging his total inability allows him to rely fully on Christ, who is his strength and sufficiency in all things. This does not mean celebrating weaknesses themselves, but rather recognizing how those weaknesses redirect our glory to Christ alone, who empowers us through His grace during trials.
