Psalms 37:7-11
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; Do not fret — it only causes harm. 9 For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth. 10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; Indeed, you will look carefully for his place, But it shall be no more. 11 But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Walking by faith means we have to patiently wait on God's timing. It also means we do not gain anything by looking at what others have, or be angry and anxious for the wrong done to us or others. Instead, we are told to wait with power in constraint (self controlled, meek). God will be the Judge at the end when all is reckoned; we are not the judge, and we have good news to offer so others may not face the bad after death. Wait, watch, and always be ready to give a good defense for the hope we have.
