Seize the Moment – Day 557

Today’s hymn focus will be

“It is No Secret”

 Romans 10:13(NLT)               

 

“For “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.””

 

Billy Graham was invited to the Beverly Hills home of Henrietta Mears to speak to a group of Hollywood personalities. Among that group was Stuart Hamblen, a hard-drinking star of cowboy westerns who also hosted a very popular radio show on the West Coast.

 

Billy and Stuart hit it off, and Billy longed to win Stuart to Christ, so he kept inviting him to come to his crusade for three weeks, but no sign of the cowboy. 
 

The local organizers saw momentum building, but Billy was hesitant and put a “fleece” out, asking God for a sign. The next morning at 4:30 am, he received a phone call from Stuart and his wife Suzy. He was crying and wanted to see Billy. So he invited him to come over, and Stuart gave his heart to the Lord that night.

 

A few weeks later, he ran into his friend, John Wayne, and told him about the change in his life saying, “Well, Duke, it’s no secret what God can do.” John said, “Sounds like a song,” and Stuart went home to write :

 

It is no secret, what God can do. What He’s done for others, He’ll do for you.     

With arms wide open, He’ll pardon you. It is no secret, what God can do

 

We need to wake up and realize that all things are done in God’s timing, so wait on Him.

“It is No Secret”

 
The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through
Someone slipped and fell, was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength your courage to renew
Do not be disheartened, I have news for you
 
It is no secret what God can do
What he’s done for others he’ll do for you
With arms wide open, he’ll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
 
There is no night for in his light you’ll never walk alone
You’ll always feel at home, wherever you may roam
There is no power can conquer you while God is on your side
Take him at his promise, don’t run away and hide
 
It is no secret what God can do
What he’s done for others he’ll do for you
With arms wide open he’ll pardon you
It is no secret what God can do
