Psalms 104:4 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Who can read this verse without being struck with the expressions? The apostle to the Hebrews throws a greater light upon the ministry of angels, as unceasingly engaged in the service of the church of Christ; Hebrews 1:14. But while attending to this view of a subject so astonishing; let us contemplate a yet higher in the ministry of Him who is a spirit of judgment, and a spirit of burning; Isaiah 4:4. Yes! thou blessed, holy Spirit! thou, even thou, art the source of all spiritual life to the new creature in Christ Jesus. For what the wind and air are in the natural world, such art thou in the spiritual. So Job sang; and so the Lord's people find, by happy experience. The Spirit of God (saith he) hath made me; and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life; Job 33:4. Oh! for grace to raise an everlasting song of praise to all the Persons of the Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, for the quickening life imparted by each. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. And it is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; John 6:63; John 6:63.
