Sanctified Steps: The Blanket In The Storm|Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

 

The Blanket In The Storm: Isaiah 26:3

📖 Scripture:

“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” — Isaiah 26:3 (KJV)

---

Devotional:

Not every storm is meant to be stopped. Some are meant to be endured — with God’s presence wrapped around us like a blanket.

When the winds rise and the lightning flashes, we often pray, “Lord, make it stop.” But sometimes, God doesn’t calm the storm… He calms you.

His peace isn’t a promise that thunder won’t shake your walls. It’s a quiet assurance that while the storm rages outside, your soul can stay warm, steady, and covered.

Like a parent tucking a frightened child into bed, God draws near—not always with solutions, but with stillness, shelter, and presence.

Reflection:

Are you waiting for your storm to stop… or are you resting in the comfort He’s already provided?
Think of Jesus in the boat with His disciples.

The storm raged. The waves beat against the ship. And where was He?
Asleep. On a pillow.

Not because the storm wasn’t real, but because His peace was greater than the panic around Him.

Sometimes, the greatest act of faith isn’t commanding the winds — it’s choosing to rest while they blow.

“And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.” — Mark 4:39 (KJV)

Daily Wisdom Insight:

Peace isn’t the absence of chaos.
It’s the presence of Christ in the middle of it.

The world defines peace as stillness, quiet, and control.
But God's peace isn’t tied to your circumstances — it's tied to His presence.

You can have peace in the hospital room.

Peace in the waiting.

Peace in the middle of the storm when nothing has changed — except that He's with you.

True peace doesn’t come when life gets easy…

It comes when your heart gets anchored.

Application:

Today, instead of begging for the storm to end, ask God to wrap you in His peace. Open your Bible, pray even if your voice shakes, and let His Word be your blanket.

Prayer:

Father,

 the storm hasn’t passed, but I know You’re with me in it.
Wrap me in Your presence today. Calm my heart even if You don’t calm the skies.
You are my blanket of peace. And in You, I can rest.

Amen.
