Bet on Carrie Blame

The recent dream was probably triggered by a public athlete talking about bluffing his team.

My thoughts quickly shifted from football to "You're not playing football. You're playing poker!" From there the image was one of gambling. From betting on cards the image quickly shifted to a local horse track that has both horse racing and a card room.

It has been several years since I have been to any horse races. But one of my first thoughts is of all of the unique names of the horses. And in my dream, as soon as the setting switched to a horse track, the word was clear: "Bet on Carrie Blame".

Whoa. I'd never heard that name before. But the words were repeated, "Bet on Carrie Blame".

People bet and place their trust in many different things. They bet on money, possessions, relationships and connections, health, retirement plan, odds, and more. And most people bet on something to influence their eternity after physical death. They bet on good deeds, church attendance, community service, biblical knowledge, and other things.

But the message is clear. Bet on the only one who can consistently help you in both this life and the next. Jesus is the one who willingly carried our blame, the punishment for our own sins. And he is the one that will win in the end. Bet on Carrie Blame.

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. ~ Revelation 19:11
