Let me ask you a question, “What is your name for God?” Hmm, you mean like a  nickname? Like big daddy in the sky? No. You may not be aware of this, but in the Old Testament, the one true name of God (sometimes pronounced Jehovah or YHWH) was too holy for people to speak out loud.  But even though they would not say the one true name of God, they did call him by other names.

They usually gave God a name when they had an intense, encounter with God.  Or they would give him a name that described how He was at work in their lives.  For example, The All-Sufficient God, The God Who Heals,  and The God Who Provides were some of their favorite names for God. But certainly if you asked the first people of God, the Israelites, one of their most important names of God was Jehovah Mephalti, the Lord my Deliverer.  This was how they first experienced Him and it forever changed their lives. The God Who Delivers... that's what He thinks about slavery.
