It is used to describe the act of trusting in God as a place of safety and protection. This term is frequently employed in the Psalms and other poetic literature to express reliance on God's protection and faithfulness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, seeking refuge was a common practice during times of danger or distress. Cities of refuge were established in Israel as places where individuals could flee for safety. The concept of God as a refuge is deeply rooted in the Hebrew understanding of God's covenant relationship with His people, where He is seen as a protector and deliverer.<div class="vheading2">NAS
