The things we focus on will determine which kingdom we are seeking. Righteousness only comes from God. We can carve out our own version but it will be full of holes amd not hold water. God's righteousness, on the other hand, is solid and does not rust or rot.
How do I seek righteousness? How do I attempt to create it? These questions I must ask myself. Seek first the kingdom, means what it says. First is first, there is no equal. Accepting that my own righteousness is just fthy rags is smart. Nothing justifies me like being a child of God, nothing else cleanses me.
Why do I attempt to create my own righteousness? Because, perhaps I have not fully understood the gift given to me, God's righteousness. It is all that is needed. I am right with my God, that is all that matters. Amen!
