In the 1980’s several French journalists and diplomats were...

Who is God, except the LORD? And who is a rock, except our God?
Psalm 18:31.

In the 1980's several French journalists and diplomats were hostages for several months or even years. They lived in extremely difficult conditions. Some of them tell of their spiritual experiences during this long imprisonment.
Roger Auques states: "The kidnappers allowed me to keep my Bible. ... My time as a hostage was necessary to make me think about God again. God is a rock, as it says in the psalms."

Marcel Carton reports: "I don't know how many times I read the same novels, but also and especially the Bible." Carton believed in the existence of God before, but without living in the discipleship of Christ. "During my imprisonment," he continues," I re-discovered what prayer is."

"The Bible supported, nourished and strengthened my faith." That was the experience of Jean-Paul Kauffmann. "At the same time the Bible proved its ability to give true spiritual encouragement. Stories like those of Job, Joseph and many others deal with people who suffered great misfortunes. Because they believed in God, they did not give up hope, but overcame their difficulties. So the Bible became a constant personal comfort to me. God and I had never lost sight of each other, but there we found each other again properly."

"The LORD ... sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works for the children of men" (Psalm 107:19-21).

Today's reading: Genesis 5:21-32 · 1 Peter 3:1-7
