Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
My mind dwells on God's kingdom rather than man's. My future hope is in the eternal state of God's universal reign. I am growing in discernment of what advances the fallible kingdom of man compared to the infallible kingdom of God. I chronically seek out opportunities to store up gold silver and precious stones rather than wood hay and stubble. Man-made kingdoms have lost all appeal.

I Corinthians 3:11-13
For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is.
II Corinthians 4:17-18
For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
