Proverbs 5:22-23 Exodus 5:22 – Why hast thou sent me? Moses seems pretty distraught, as did the first American foreign missionary Adoniram Judson. “Judson’s wife and all their children died in the first 14 years of his missionary career, and he became very despondent. He questioned: Did he carry death with him like a contagion? In the beginning there had been Harriet Newell and her baby; followed by Samuel Newell, who died a few years later in Bombay; then Judson’s own son Roger; his wife Ann; and now his daughter Maria. He hoped—he believed—he carried the gift of life eternal into the next world, but wondered why he carried the gift of death in this?”
