16 One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
Proverbs 22:16
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty.

13 Now when Jesus heard this, he withdrew from there in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on foot from the towns.
Matthew 14:13-21
14 When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick.
15 When it was evening, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.”
16 Jesus said to them, “They need not go away; you give them something to eat.”
17 They replied, “We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.”
18 And he said, “Bring them here to me.”
19 Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds.
20 And all ate and were filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21 And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

and lead you in straight paths.
12 When you walk, you won’t be held back;
when you run, you won’t stumble.

Guard them, for they are the key to life.

There is a hill I cherish
Where stood a precious tree
The emblem of Salvation
The gift of CalvaryHow is it I should profit?
While He is crucified
Yet as His life was taken
So I was granted mineMy wealth is in the cross
There’s nothing more I want
Than just to know His love
My heart is set on Christ
And I will count all else as loss
The greatest of my crowns
Mean nothing to me now
For I counted up the cost
And all my wealth is in the crossI will not boast in riches
I have no pride in gold
But I will boast in Jesus
And in His Name aloneMy wealth is in the cross
There’s nothing more I want
Than just to know His love
My heart is set on Christ
And I will count all else as loss
The greatest of my crowns
Mean nothing to me now
For I counted up the cost
And all my wealth is in the cross
Yes all my wealth is in the crossAnd when I stand in glory
My crowns before the Lord
Let this be my confession
My wealth is in the cross (hallelujah)My wealth is in the cross
There’s nothing more I want
Than just to know His love
My heart is set on Christ
And I will count all else as loss
The greatest of my crowns
Mean nothing to me now
For I counted up the costAnd all my wealth is in the cross
There’s nothing more I want
Than just to know His love
My heart is set on Christ
And I will count all else as loss
The greatest of my crowns
Mean nothing to me now
For I counted up the cost
And all my wealth is in the crossYes all my wealth is in the cross

My wealth is in the cross
Yes all my wealth is in the cross (hallelujah)
