10.10.21

It’s a boxing term. When the fighter can no longer continue, when defeat is inevitable, the trainer will ‘throw in the towel,’ literally. Over time, it has come to be applied to any situation where the only option we have is to lose. It means to give up or to admit that no hope exists. The term says there’s no future that has any promise. By faith, Isaac saw past the failure around him. By faith, he passed on a promise. By faith, he saw a future of hope and blessing. In Christ, we see past that black day on Calvary. By faith, we look to a certain day of a promise fulfilled.
