Malachi 1:1; The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by
Malachi.
The prophets of old were no triflers. They carried a burden.
The servants of God mean business; they have something to carry, worth
carrying. Those who speak for God must not speak lightly. God's true servants,
who are burdened with His Word, right willingly and cheerfully carry that
burden. We bear a burden indeed, but we should be sorry not to bear it.
