3) Understand that God often communicates with visions, dreams or pictures
Habakkuk said, "I will stand on my guard post..." (Hab. 2:1). A guards listens, they are alert to sounds or motion - so quiet yourself
"I will keep watch to see what He will say to me"
We need to look to see, not hear, what He will say
Habakkuk was actually looking for vision as he prayed. He opened the eyes of his heart, and looked into the heavenly realm to see what God wanted to show him. God has always spoken through dreams and visions, and He specifically said that they would come to those upon whom the Holy Spirit is poured out (Acts 2:1-4, 17).
