Faith is not wishful thinking, making foolhardiness or foolish decisions, or doing what you want to do and then expecting God to bless it. Faith is not putting your hope in a man-centered solution. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing the word of God (Rom 10:17). For the words of God are not mere words. The words of God are the basis of all reality, for by the word God, our Creator spoke the galaxies into existing (Heb 11:3). Faith is the “assurance”, “reality”, and “substance” of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Heb 11:1). Faith is a God centered-reality; it derives from the word of God. Our role is simply to know, to believe, and to rest in what God has declared to be true in his word!
