Blessings to the whole community!

If we reflect on Psalm 1, we will find that the righteous have the source of their delight in the law of God and the wicked have their debauchery in the desires of the flesh.

In Psalm 1: 1-2 Reina-Valera 1960 (NIV)
the word says:

Blessed is the man who did not walk in the council of the wicked, nor turned to sinners, nor sat in the mocker's chair; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law he meditates day and night.

Human nature itself is sinful. He who is not born of Christ practices evil. His thoughts are oriented towards evil, and his manifest works are carnal: adultery, fornication, filthiness, lasciviousness, idolatry, anger, strife, dissension, heresy, envy, homicide, drunkenness, orgies (Ga 5: 19-20).

What good advice can we get from a bad person?

The Word of God says that "the wise see evil and turn away."
If you are wise and born of the Spirit of God, then, do not tilt your ear to listen to the advice of the wicked. Our source of advice comes from God, that is, His Word. Do not walk with sinners. From the first moment he received Christ in his heart, he entered into a life of consecration with God. The man who experiences the new birth in Christ begins to lead the Holy Spirit to all truth and all justice. Depart from evil, do not make fun of your neighbor, discard all company of evil and evil men.

Instead of delighting in sinners, the Lord teaches us in this same Psalm 1: 2, what our delight should be:

But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and in his law he meditates day and night.

If you have a problem and need advice, the solution is in Jehovah's law. Lean on the Word of God, make it your delight, in it you will find multiple solutions to the different problems that can happen to us in common life.

Every time you meditate on the Word of God you will receive the right advice to overcome the difficulties and challenges of life. Every good gift comes from God. All good advice comes from the heavenly Father. Do not trust men with corrupt thoughts, look for the source of life and peace that comes from the Holy Scriptures.
