When you seriously pursue something, it becomes your passion. It overtakes your life -- your thoughts, your speech, and your actions. God wants you to come under His kingdom and His righteousness' influence in that way! To do that, you need a basic understanding of righteousness -- that it was purchased for you freely by the blood of Jesus, but must be walked out daily in the very practical matters of life. It's easy to live the blessed life -- quit trying to do it, and just seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and everything necessary will be added to your life!
