"Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, "This is the way, walk in it." Whenever you turn to the right hand or whenever yout urn to the left" (Isaiah 30:21).
God will guide those who have waited for Him, who have been on their knees before Him and have sought Him. He will be gracious to those who have heard and listened.
God raised up many voices to warn of judgment. They called for the people to repent and to turn to God so that He will relent from the destruction that He would send because of the wickedness upon the land. But it was not so. Judgment is sure to come because the Bible said it would.
BUT, that does not mean that you cannot repent. Repentance and turning to God is still the answer, though judgment come. The worst is coming; like a domino effect, the judgments will fall one after the other and you will need to know what to do. Seek His guidance and He will lead those who are His, who repented, listened, turned to Him, and cried out to Him. As the verse above says, you will hear a word behind you that will guide you.
"You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because He trusts in You" (Isaiah 26:3).
He will give those whom He has warned, and who prepared, with peace. But do not stop seeking God. Ask Him for direction. He warned:
"Thus says the Lord: 'Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.' Also, I set watchman over you saying, 'Listen to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, 'We will not listen.' Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregations, what is among them. Hear, O earth! Behold, I will certainly bring calamity on this people - the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My words nor My law, but rejected it'" (Jeremiah 6:16-19).
BUT:
"Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore He will be exalted, that He may hav emercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him" (Isaiah 30:18).
Though He "gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction," He will still be gracious and merciful (Isaiah 30:20).
"He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength...But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." (Isaiah 40:29,31).
Persevere and endure to the end.
