Given by: Judith, before undertaking the deliverance of Bethulia, submitting her purpose to the elders and to God. Given to: the elders — and every believer setting out to act for God.

Even as a woman of proven faith, Judith submits her purpose to the community's discernment and asks for their intercession; the deliverance she seeks is God's to grant, and any glory in the outcome belongs to Him, not to her strength or cunning.

So that which I intend to do prove ye if it be of God, and pray that God may strengthen my design.

Submit what you intend to do to testing, that it be of God, and ask others to pray Him to strengthen it.

Judith 8:31
