Recently, a friend wrote: Quite a few things went wrong today – I had to die over and over – I’m glad we discussed all the things that we did yesterday. The Lord knew what was coming. All is well. I heard someone say that it is always good to be humbled.

What is to be our response when things go wrong, when we must die to self over and over? What is the pathway of the Lord when we’re humbled? 

Timothy, my son, I give you this instruction in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by following them you may fight the good fight, holding on to faith and a good conscience. Some have rejected these and so have shipwrecked their faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme. — 1 Timothy, chapter 1
