Psalm 37:7
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
It is easy to do this when you come at things from a position of power, rather then when you come at things from a position of weakness.
If you decide to walk everywhere you go, and you set up your whole life so that you wherever you need to go is within easy walking distance. If some authority comes into your life and tells you that you are not allowed to drive ever again, your response is "so what," because you had already decided to walk everywhere. If someone comes into your life and tries to create a scam that stops you from being able to ever drive again, your response is "so what," because you already decided to walk. Understanding how to come at things from a position of power gives you the freedom to let people scheme and not let it affect you. It also makes God's statement in Romans not such a weird statement.
Romans 12:19
Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
