The sin of coveting, when we ae upset at our neighbors success, and believe that what belongs to them is actually our due. Covetousness drives most of modern culture. Entire political campaigns are waged on the premise that one group has riches that everyone deserves, and so the government must redistribute the wealth. Modern advertising encourages us to be dissatisfied with what we have, telling us our lives would be much better if we buy product, x,y or z. Dissatisfaction is the root from which covetousness grows. When we do not find satisfaction in the Lord with what we have, we begin to think He has done poor job in allotting His blessings, that we deserve what other people have, and that God was wrong to give them what is rightly ours. All reflect a failure to trust the Lords provision, and it manifests a belief that God does not know what He is doing when He blesses his people, both of which are great sins indeed.
