One of the things that a weakness does is put us in a difficult spot that requires some kind of response. The wind is blowing at gale force and the waves are high, and there is only one safe thing to do – point the ship directly into the wind and apply full power. Anything else and the ship goes under. What I mean to say is that there are a lot of ways to respond to a weakness, but pretty much all but one produce bad results pretty quickly. The one correct response that will keep us afloat is humility and maximum effort to overcome the weakness, coupled with reliance on grace, that in the end things will be okay.
