Lost blessings (Notes from Psalm 89)

God described as :
   Merciful, Faithful, (:1), Wonderful, incomparable, greatly to be feared, Mighty (:5-8), Creator (:11,12), Mighty, Strong, (:13), Righteous, Just, Truthful (:14), Holy (:18) Father, the Rock of salvation (:26), with lovingkindness (:49)

Blessedness of those who believes the Gospel :
         -  They walk  in the light of God's countenance.
         -  In His name they rejoice all day long,
         -  In His righteousness they are exalted.
         -  He is the glory of their strength,
         -  in His favor their horn is exalted.
          -  Their shield belongs to the Lord, their King to the Holy One of Israel. (He protects them) (:15-18)

God's dealing with His people:
        -  Gives help, exalts, anoints, establishes, strengthen, protects from enemy, keeps His faithfulness, His mercy and His covenant with them, (:19-24, 28) disciplines (:32)

What happens when God's people move far from Him?:
             they will be abhorred, will be under God's fury, will not be protected by God, will be reproached, life shortened, will be covered with shame. (:38-45)

A good question:
      What man can live and not see death? Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? (:48)
   

The person washed in the precious Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and trusts Jesus as  personal Saviour and Lord, will not take part in the second death but will be delivered from the power of the grave through the resurrection power that is in Christ Jesus.
