The spies' sin was fixing their focus on the obstacle resulting in excessive fear instead of focusing on God and trusting His promises. There is my #1 sin in a nutshell. God just brought me this far into the desert to die. Sounds so ugly when I say it out loud. It is my experience with Confession that articulating something makes me both face the sin which defeats rationalization and encountering the overwhelming Mercy which brings me out of hiding so I also can say,"that's what I was so afraid of?"
