Read : Psalm : 37: 27-40
Wait on the Lord, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land. - Psalm 37 : 34
As a rule, it is wrong to take from one person and give to another. Yet when the proper authority takes from a criminal to give to an orphan, it's a different story. Such was the case when the wife of Peruvian President Alan Garcia ordered that a mansion confiscated from a cocaine dealer be converted into an orphanage. The house known as "Villa Coca" became a haven for homeless children.
God did something like this when He guided the children of Israel to Canaan, the Promised Land. The Lord used the Israelites to judge the idol-worshiping residents of Canaan by driving them out of their land. God gave His people cities and homes they hadn't built, wells they hadn't dug, and vineyards they hadn't planted. He took from His enemies to give to His people, just as He had promised (Dt. 6: 10-11).
As the real owner of heaven and earth, the Lord assures us that He has the authority and the power to take from the proud and to give to the humble. It's true, the Lord may seem blind to the actions of those who have gained great wealth by vice and violence. But according to Psalm 37, eternity will show the wisdom of those who wait on the Lord, They will see the great reverse. - Mart De Haan
And the end of life, we'll find that the only things we've lost were those we tried to keep.

That great reverse on judgement day
Will finally make life's values clear;
We'll know if we are rich or poor
By what on earth we held most dear. - D. De Haan
And the end of life, we'll find that the only things we've lost were those we tried to keep.
