It was a simple book-keeping error.

We were getting married in Syracuse, NY and planning a move to Mississippi (where Norm had been hired to work at WDDT, Greenville). Norm forgot to balance his check book in all the excitement of the wedding ceremony and move preparations.

Maybe he could blame the memory lapse on sleep deprivation; he’d been working the midnight-6am shift at WNDR, Syracuse. If my memory serves me he also paid for his wedding tuxedo twice.

We got a letter from our church in Syracuse shortly after arrival to our new home. We learned that the check he had written to the church organist for our ceremony had bounced. It was returned from the bank marked insufficient funds.

God’s grace is always sufficient.

“And He has said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.’ Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in distresses, in persecutions, in difficulties, in behalf of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NASB).”

Yes, the Lord’s grace is sufficient and He has also promised to meet our needs. His funds are never insufficient.

“And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19 NASB).”
