Our names are precious to us....they reveal who we are. They are a personal connection, a unique part of us. Names in Biblical times were very important,as they revealed a persons character. As we read through Scripture we can see the importance of names, therefore, it should be a priority in our lives to learn the Names of God. God has many Names and each reveals Him in a different way. Gods Names represent His attributes, His nature. Therefore, it is important that we know God by His many Names. - Jason Denison MAKER..................................Job 35:10, Psalm 95:6 “Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty. “But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker, Who gives songs in the night, Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’ “There they cry out, but He does not answer Because of the pride of evil men. “Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it. Job 35:9-13 (NASB) They are wholly taken up with the wretchedness of their condition, as if that would excuse them in living without God in the world which should engage them to cleave the more closely to him. Observe, (1.) God is our Maker, the author of our being, and, under that notion, it concerns us to regard and remember him, Eccl. 12:1 . God my makers, in the plural number, which some think is, if not an indication, yet an intimation, of the Trinity of persons in the unity of the Godhead. Let us make man. (2.) It is our duty therefore to enquire after him. Where is he, that we may pay our homage to him, may own our dependence upon him and obligations to him? Where is he, that we may apply to him for maintenance and protection, may receive law from him, and may seek our happiness in his favour, from whose power we received our being? (3.) It is to be lamented that he is so little enquired after by the children of men. All are asking, Where is mirth? Where is wealth? Where is a good bargain? But none ask, Where is God my Maker? 2. They do not take notice of the mercies they enjoy in and under their afflictions, nor are thankful for them, and therefore cannot expect that God should deliver them out of their afflictions. - Matthew Henry
