A Morning Thought

Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

Psalm 119:140
 
I recently read, “The pony express was a thrilling part of early American history.  It ran from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California- a distance of 1,900 miles.  The trip was made in ten days.  Forty men, each riding 50 miles a day, dashed along the trail on 500 of the best horses the West could provide.  To conserve weight, clothing was very light, saddles were extremely small and thin, and no weapons were carried.  The horses themselves wore small shoes or none at all.  The mail pouches were flat and very conservative in size.  Letters had to be written on thin paper, and postage was $5.00 an ounce (a tremendous sum those days).  Yet, each rider carried a full-sized Bible!  It was presented to him when he joined the pony express, and he took it with him despite all the scrupulous weight precautions.”

In the times that we live in with all of our modern comforts and conveniences, where is your Bible found?  Do you carry your Bible with you?  Is there such burning within you for God’s Word that your heart reminds you to take your Bible with you as you head out the door for work or where ever it may be you are going?  After I was saved, I had a pocket size Bible I kept in my truck and I would go out during my lunch break and feed my spirit with the Powerful Word of the Living God.

If the pony express riders from past days could carry a full size Bible, can we not find a place in our automobiles to keep God’s Word with us?  I pray that our Love for the Lord will grow and our love for His Word will increase with each passing day.
