“Things Hoped For”

“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for…”. If I were able to talk to the writer of Hebrews, today, I might challenge that person and ask why Abraham and Sarah are said to have had faith in what they hoped for without any mention of the redirection they had to receive from God along the way. But, looking again at Hebrews chapter 11, I think I can see that the writer is not focused so much on Abraham and Sarah, but on the object of their faith.
