The Bible presents the creation of everything as a unified act of the Godhead, but it also shows the reader small glimpses of the different aspects of involvement by the Spirit or Jesus. Check out a few of these fascinating sections of scripture.
“In the beginning the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters” (Gen. 1.2).
The Hebrew word for “Spirit” here describes either breath or wind. This is how it’s described—difficult to picture in the mind. The Spirit was there, but do we have any idea what was going on?
John says that by Jesus all things were made (Jn. 1.1-3). That alone deserves its own article. The Spirit had a unique role as well, and that role wasn’t a small one either. Look at what Job has to say…
“By His Spirit the heavens were made fair (or adorned)” (Job 26.13).
At Cumberland Trace’s last Equipped workshop (2026), Steve Higginbotham addressed this verse in his lesson to point out the awesomeness of God. He captivated his audience by sharing via PowerPoint the unimaginable number of stars and galaxies in our universe and masterfully proved how this clearly points the observer to its Maker. The Spirit’s involvement in the “adorning of the heavens” is nothing short of amazing.
Bonus: Here’s an interesting connection between the spoken Word and the Spirit.
“By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath (spirit) of His mouth all their hosts” (Ps. 33.6). This is a passage that really brings these two ideas together. What an awesome act by an awesome God.
