I guess the idea of asking God to show us our "next right steps" is a 12-step catch phrase. I'm not a 12-step participant myself, but I hang with such folks a fair amount of the time, which I guess is where I picked up the phrase. I found the chorus echoing in my heart for a bunch of weeks, and then the verses came together pretty suddenly.
I'm not a hundred percent sure I believe that we don't get long term visions that "last through the years". But I am sure that knowing the next right steps, and walking in them is one of the more important things that God can help us to see.
Next Right Steps
Next right steps, next right steps
Father won't you show us our next right steps.
Next right steps, next right steps
Father won't you show us our next right steps.
Well, I seem to want a vision that would last through the years
To fill me up with confidence and calm all my fears
But I'm slowly learning you don't work that way
You give strength for the journey
And bread for today
Next right steps...
Now if we want a vision that will carry us through
We don't need to know the what or how we just need who
We need to know the Spirit who can show us the way
And to trust that Jesus loves us at the end of the day
Next right steps...
