Joshua 7:20-21

So Achan answered Joshua and said, “In truth, I have sinned against the Lord, the God of Israel, and this is what I have done: when I saw among the spoils (in Jericho) a beautiful robe from Shinar and two hundred shekels of silver and a bar of gold weighing fifty shekels, I wanted them and took them. 

Achan violated the instructions of God, and by doing this, Achan and his family lost everything and were stoned. We can listen to God and disregard His leadership in our lives. We can covet things God tells us to stay away from and sin. We can honor God with our lips, and our hearts are far from Him.  Or we can choose to listen and gain favor and prosperity.
