Today's reading a bit difficult as it is was just instructions on the building of the ark. I am still not sure of the significance of the detail of this. Maybe somewhere there is some insight.
Psalm 52 is thanking God for his steadfast love and condemning those that do not believe. Condemn might be too strong of word, but can't think of another right now.

Ok this really could have been summarized into just a few sentences. I really don’t see the need to go over it in such great detail as we have already read the details multiple times. I did find it interesting that they recorded what was given by the people in order to make it. Like that was a great sacrifice to give all that over. I am still trying to understand the significance of all this though.
The psalm is prefaced with “a maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.” I don’t know what a maskil is but when I first read this it seems like he was chastising someone for their actions and words. I am relating to this one today as I have not had good thoughts or words toward someone recently and have been trying to decide how I should share my experience in a more positive manner. I do like the end as it says “...flourishing in the house of God; I trust in Gods unfailing love...And I will hope in your name...”. Knowing God’s love will help you flourish.
