Background Information (250 words)
In this activity, we explore what the Bible has to say about safety. Psalm 122:7 states, Peace be within your walls and security within your towers (ESV). The writing of Psalms is generally attributed to King David in ancient Israel. The verse is referring to a city, Jerusalem. This is very clearly indicating a physical threat, possibly a surrounding unfriendly nation or group of people. However, threats may come from a variety of attackers and in many forms. Psalm 9:10 says, Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you (NIV).
