The Pony Express ran from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California — a long 1900 miles. Forty riders would cover the distance in 10 days. Everything had to be light. Saddles were small. Mail pouches were flat. No guns were carried. Letters were written on thin paper. Yet, when a rider first signed on, he was given what was considered standard equipment — a full sized Bible — and it was taken on every trip!

The Bible should always be considered standard equipment to everyone! It is the only book that meets the needs of man under all conditions of life.

Ps 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

Ps 119:11, “Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You.”

May we encourage you to carry it, read it, study it, live it — and you life will be changed if you do.
