Job 26:13
"By His Spirit, He adorned the heavens."
Have you ever thought of God's artistic nature? Surely he is a painter, a designer and a decorator. That is certainly what he is, and much more, with the earth filled with color and shape and texture. Here, in spite of the calamities of his life, Job reminds us it was by the Spirit that God clothed the heavens in glory. They were adorned by the Spirit's touch.
When I look to the stars, I'm always struck by how little we really know about the objects that are up there. If there really are billions of stars up there, we cannot possibly know just a little bit them all. But the Spirit does, for God hung each star in place, lighting their fuses, created them with different ages, and sustaining their existence for as long as he desires.
This is God revealing to us his pleasure in art, for the Spirit adorns the heavens.
This same adorning power is available to adorn your life in God's holiness. The Lord wants to clothe you in the presence of Christ so that God's glory radiates from your life. He wants your life to be the easel on which he paints, the blueprint on which he designs, the home which he decorate.
The Spirit wants to do a work in you. Will you invite him in?
LORD JESUS
Lord, I thank you for the adorning nature of your Spirit. May you also adorn my life in holiness to give you glory. Amen.
