For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected, if it is received with thanksgiving.
All of God’s creation is at man’s disposal but not indiscriminately so. For his food truly to be a blessing, man needs to recognize that it is by the gracious provision of God that he has received it and that thanksgiving is in order. We certainly should not have the attitude toward physical and material blessings as that of the rich fool in Jesus’ parable (Luke 12:16-21).
