Granted we are to live with our eyes upon the city not built with hands and seek the Kingdom of God first but than all these things will be added onto us. We are to be thankful for our food and all that God provides for us. I do not shut my heart off to The LORD revealing Himself to me in a myriad of ways that I am thankful for. Ultimately our bodies will even be redeemed, not replaced but changed in a twinkling of an eye from that which is corrupted to that which is immortal. Praise The LORD for He makes all things new and He is above all, and through all, and in us all.
I hope for you an opening of your heart to appreciate all that The LORD has created for us to enjoy and thrive on by His grace even in this corrupted world that once was perfect and shall be again. Without the grace of all His provisions for us we would have all ceased to exist long ago.
Ecc 3:11 He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
1Cr 15:39 All flesh [is] not the same flesh: but [there is] one [kind of] flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, [and] another of birds.
1Cr 15:40 [There are] also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial [is] one, and the [glory] of the terrestrial [is] another.
Perhaps he means ultimately, or relatively speaking as compared to that which is spiritual, (Rm. 14:17) which is true, but they certainly are important, for
1. Creation reveals the glory of God, showing forth of His power, wisdom, and majesty, as a universal testament to reality that there is a creator. (Ps. 19; Rm. 1:19,20)
2. God has also given man a basic innate sense of morality which corresponds to that which is written. (Rm. 2)
3. In revealing Himself more fully and comprehensively, God established certain men as being men of God by powerful supernatural attestation which effected changes in the physical realm.
4. The Divine Son of God came down from heaven, being incarnated with a physical body God the Father had prepared for Him, (Heb. 10:5) and did miracles on physical people, out of love but also that they may believe and be regenerated, and live holy, and realize the spiritual blessings of salvation.
6. Believers will forever have a glorified body after the manner of their resurrected Lord, that apparently could eat physical food, as Jesus did. (Lk. 24)
7. Jesus shall yet reign on the earth, and His apostles shall eat and drink with Him. (Lk. 22:28-30) And after God shall make a new earth, which appears to have physicality of some kind, in which the Holy City (not Rome) shall come down, (Rev. 21,22)which the redeemed of the Lord shall enjoy and get to serve the Lord, (Rm. 22:3) whom they forever shall be with. (1Thes. 4:17)
To God be the glory, and of whom i am utterly unworthy, and need to obey Col. 3:1 in the light of “so great salvation” (Heb. 2:3) by the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ. (Titus 2:13)
