The Lord Jesus doesn’t want to be second in command of believers, He wants to be King on the throne of our hearts.
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you, Matt. 6:33."
The kingdom of God ought to be our obsession because King Jesus rules there.
We are also to seek His righteousness. It will be a great day when we learn the difference between self righteousness and the Savior's righteousness.
Before we can live the righteousness of Christ, God must give it. That’s why Jesus came and died for sinners, so that all who believe on Him will have the righteousness of God.
"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” (II Cor. 5:21).
“ . . . . and all these things shall be added unto you.” What things? All the needs we worry about.
