Faith is more about trusting God when you DON'T get what you want than about having hope that you will get what you want. Often "faith" is confused with "want" and generally, modern "faith" is rarely directed toward forever!
Notice these verses. This is the greatest chapter on faith in the bible! These are the heroes of faith! Look closely at what is said, "All these died in faith WITHOUT receiving what was promised." Yet they were not disappointed because their faith was not rooted in this world, but in the world to come.
Faith that is rooted in this life is not biblical faith! All of the promises of God are rooted in faith. All of the promises of God are fulfilled in the life to come.
Where are we placing our faith? If it is for this life, we will be disappointed.
