By Your Side Artist: Tenth Avenue North Album: Over And Underneath
Here’s a devotional blog post inspired by “By Your Side” by Tenth Avenue North and the message it conveys:
Devotional: He’s Always By Your Side
📖 “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” – Hebrews 13:5
Have you ever felt like you were drowning in your own failures, fears, or regrets? Like you were striving so hard to be enough, to be loved, to be accepted—but no matter what you did, it never seemed to be enough?
That’s where the song “By Your Side” by Tenth Avenue North meets us. It’s a gentle whisper from the heart of God, reminding us that His love isn’t earned—it’s freely given.
“Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?”
These words pierce through the noise of our self-doubt and performance-driven lives. They echo the truth that God’s grace is not a reward for good behavior—it’s a gift. A gift bought with the blood of Jesus, who bore our sins and conquered death so we could live in freedom.
🎵 “I’ll be by your side wherever you fall, in the dead of night, whenever you call.”
This promise is not just poetic—it’s powerful. God doesn’t wait for us to clean ourselves up before He draws near. He’s already there, in the mess, in the brokenness, in the silence. He’s holding us, loving us, and reminding us that we are His.
Today, let this song be a balm to your soul. Let it remind you that you are not alone. You are not forgotten. You are not too far gone. God is by your side—always.
🙏 Prayer
Lord, thank You for Your unfailing love. Thank You for being by my side, even when I feel unworthy or lost. Help me to stop striving and start trusting. Remind me daily that Your grace is enough. Amen.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

What is Faith?
✝️ What Is Faith?
📖 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1
Faith is trusting God even when you can’t see the outcome. It’s believing in His promises, standing firm in His Word, and walking forward when the path isn’t clear. Faith isn’t just a feeling—it’s a choice to believe that God is who He says He is.

Why Jesus? Because He meets us in our brokenness. Because He brings healing to our deepest wounds. Because His love never fails.
Let this video remind you that Jesus is not just a name—He’s the answer to every question, the hope in every storm, and the reason we live with purpose.

Aaron Shust - My Hope Is In You
https://youtu.be/ugD0i5Y3cw8?si=CLQ_iAD77eISFnQO
🌟 Devotional: My Hope Is In You
📖 “Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God…” – Psalm 42:11
In seasons of uncertainty, pain, or waiting, it’s easy to feel shaken. But Aaron Shust’s song “My Hope Is In You” is a beautiful reminder that our hope isn’t found in circumstances—it’s found in Christ.
Written by April Geesbreght and recorded during a deeply personal time in Shust’s life, the song became a declaration of faith. While his young son battled a painful and seemingly incurable condition, Shust clung to God’s promises. Miraculously, his son was healed, and the song became a testimony of God’s faithfulness.
🎶 “I won’t be shaken by drought or storm / A peace that passes understanding is my song / And I sing…”
This song invites us to trust in God even when the answers don’t come right away. It reminds us that peace isn’t the absence of trouble—it’s the presence of God.
🙏 Prayer
Heavenly Father,
Thank You for being our refuge and strength. In the middle of life’s storms, when fear and doubt try to take hold, help us to remember that our hope is in You. Teach us to trust You more deeply, to rest in Your promises, and to sing even when the night is long.
We place our hearts, our families, and our futures in Your hands.
Amen.

As we journey through life, we often face uncertainty, questions, and seasons of wandering. But just like the wise men, we are invited to follow the light of Christ—His Word, His Spirit, His love.
🎶 “Star of wonder, star of night / Star with royal beauty bright…”
This Christmas, let’s fix our eyes on the true Light. Let’s seek Him with all our hearts, trusting that He will lead us to peace, purpose, and joy.
🙏 A Christmas Prayer for Families
Lord Jesus,
Thank You for being the Light in our darkness. As we celebrate Your birth, help us to follow You with faith and joy. Guide our families, our decisions, and our hearts. May we be like the wise men—willing to journey far to worship You.
Shine Your light in our homes and lead us closer to You each day.
Amen.

God is Love
Devotional: God Is Love
📖 “Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.” – 1 John 4:8
In a world full of noise, division, and uncertainty, one truth remains unshaken: God is love. His love is not conditional, not earned, and not limited. It is perfect, sacrificial, and eternal.
God’s love was revealed through Jesus—who came not to condemn, but to save. He walked among us, healed the broken, forgave the sinner, and laid down His life so we could be free.
When we understand that God is love, it changes how we see ourselves and others. We begin to love not because people deserve it, but because we’ve been loved first.

🎵 “All I know is I’m not home yet / This is not where I belong / Take this world and give me Jesus…”
Let this song be a reminder that no matter what you face today, your identity and future are secure in Christ.

Hit Your Tarket in 2012
🎯 Hit Your Target in 2012 – Living by Faith with Purpose
📖 “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” – Hebrews 11:1
Faith is more than belief—it’s action. It’s movement toward something God has placed in your heart. But faith needs direction. It needs a target.
Pastor Brad’s message reminds us that faith must have something to put substance to—goals and objectives that align with God’s vision for our lives.
✍️ Write the Vision
📖 “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.” – Habakkuk 2:2
God calls us to live by faith, but He also calls us to write down the vision. Vision is God’s big picture for your life. Goals are the steps that move you toward that vision.
🛤️ Press Toward the Goal
📖 “I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:14
Paul didn’t just hope—he pressed. He pursued with diligence. We must break down our high calling into attainable goals that keep us moving forward.
📌 Scriptural Priorities in Goal Setting
- Your personal relationship with God
- Your marriage and children
- Your local church and spiritual community
- Your job or occupation
- Your social and recreational life
These priorities help you stay aligned with God’s purpose and make His ability available to accomplish your goals.
🧭 Guidelines for Setting Effective Goals
- Don’t confuse the goal with the reward
- Make your goals about serving others (Mark 10:43–44)
- Count the cost (Luke 14:28)
- Write down your goals and review them daily (Habakkuk 2:2)
- Use the SMART method:
- Specific
- Measurable
- Attainable
- Realistic
- Timely
🙏 Prayer for Direction and Diligence
Lord, thank You for giving me a vision for my life. Help me to walk by faith, not just in belief, but in action. Teach me to set goals that honor You and serve others. Give me wisdom, discipline, and courage to press toward the high calling You’ve placed on my life. Amen.
Encouraging Word
This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun.
