Judith 15&16

Chapter 15:

In this chapter we see how the entire army was so afraid after they knew that Holofernes was beheaded, they fled from the Hebrews through the ways of the fields and the paths of the hills. We read about Joachim the high priest who blessed Judith for what she did, and all the people rejoiced and were praising God. 

 Chapter 16: 

We read Judith’s prayer, how she praised God the Lord, and glorified Him in all His works. We see in this chapter how Judith, let God use her in His plan to save His people, and she knew that what she did was all from God and giving Him all the Glory. 

We learn from Judith that she sees God does all wonders every day with her and His people. Even she confessed that God succeed her plan, and it wasn't by her power nor her smartness, or her courage. 

she knew that God used her to save His people and she trusted Him and trusted His power, and in the end, she gave Him all the glory.

Even if the evil around us and bigger than us, when we rely on God and cry out to Him, he will send us help and He may use us to make wonders.
