A place of safety and protection — God Himself is the ultimate refuge
lightbulbRE-fuge — a place to flee to again and again. God is the ultimate safe house
The Psalms repeatedly call God a 'refuge and strength' (Psalm 46:1). In the OT, God established literal cities of refuge (Numbers 35) where someone who accidentally killed another could flee for protection until trial. The concept points to a deeper truth: God is where you run when everything is falling apart. Psalm 91:2 says 'I will say to the LORD, my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.' Running to God is never the wrong move.
