What did Martha and Mary weigh?

There is a reason we don't know what the women in the Bible weighed. God made sure that the things that are in His word are the things we should be focusing on, and comparing our weight to others is not one of them. Weight is a symptom of a mind focused on the wrong things. If we want our minds renewed; If we want to live free from the scale the people around us ask us to stand on every day so they can decide if we are the right weight, than we need to replace the wrong thinking with right thinking. The Bible is the only source I have to know what matters to God. Jesus came to tell us what matters. These are the things we should be focused on. Here is what I know for sure;
People matter; love, encourage, be hospitable, forgive, serve, listen, hug, laugh and cry with them, go the extra mile, and ultimately, lay down you life.
God matters; glorify him, praise Him, keep his commandments (love God, love others), put Him first, be grateful for Him, walk, talk, be with, and follow him every moment you have breath. He came and gave us a window into the heart of the Father. He did not focus on what people ate, or what possession they had. He did say to one man "sell all you have, give it to the poor and follow me", He answered another by saying, "my food is to do the will of my Father". Maybe then instead of trying to stop focusing on food, I should be trying to focus on the things that matter to God. The rest will take care of itself.

  1. Good observation. Maybe that is why the physical attributes of Jesus are never described.
