Lending to the Lord – A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast
Episode Description - What does it truly mean to serve those on the margins of society? In this powerful five-minute prayer devotional from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper unpacks the truth of Proverbs 19:17 — “Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done.” This is more than charity; it is a divine partnership with God Himself.
Poverty isn’t just about lacking money—it can mean being poor in spirit, emotionally weary, or socially isolated. Each time we show kindness, we are not just helping another person; we are making an eternal deposit into the heart of God. This devotional challenges us to see generosity as a form of worship, aligning our actions with the compassion of Christ.
Through heartfelt prayer, Reverend Ben calls us to live with open hands and open hearts, resisting the culture of accumulation. He invites us to consider whether we live simply so that others may experience God’s provision through us. Each act of love—whether feeding the hungry, encouraging the brokenhearted, or standing with the lonely—is an offering to the Lord.
Jesus Himself identified with “the least of these” (Matthew 25:40), reminding us that serving others is serving Him. This episode offers ten focused prayer points that seek God’s wisdom to give without pride, act without recognition, and love without limit.
If you’re involved in community outreach, supporting a neighbour, or simply longing to reflect God’s heart more fully, this message will encourage you to take practical steps toward a life of eternal significance.
