Finger of the Spirit 57
The Psalmist writes that when God takes away his breath everything dies and returns to dust. "When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground."1 The spirit brings new life and renewal to plant life and animal life on the earth. We forget sometimes in the midst of a debate between evolution and creation that in fact the creation was in fact finished after six days. Thereafter the Holy Spirit sustains and no doubt adapts what was created to a changing environment.
Adorns the Heavens
The Spirit has a special job as he beautifies or adorns the heavens after the original creation. "By his spirit he has garnished the heavens, his hand hath formed the crooked servant."2 The Psalmist extends this thought. "When I look at the heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast established."3 The phrase "thy fingers" refers to the work of the Holy Spirit at the origin of creation. John Owen writes, "By the finger or fingers of God the Spirit of God is in an especial manner intended."
