I tend to be a trusting person who believes what people tell me but I have learned that you also have to use discernment. Not everyone is out for our best. There are people who are wicked and advise with treachery and treason in their heart. I think that may have been why Jesus said to be wise as snakes and innocent as doves. The wicked prey on the innocent and unsuspecting so we must use discernment.
It never ends well for the wicked but they can do damage on their way out so we must make sure we reside under the protection of the Almighty.
Then there are those who are a great blessing in our lives, the ones who will tell us the truth, the ones whose counsel is sound. Keep those people close for the words of the godly save lives. There is an ancient wisdom found in the word of God that preserves the lives of those who value it. The godly have learned this therefore their counsel is trusted and true. They win admiration because of the value they bring to other’s lives. The words and intent of the wicked reveal themselves in time and they are disgraced and despised as a result.
We chose who we listen to….choose wisely!

Proverbs 12:5-8 The plans of the godly are just;
the advice of the wicked is treacherous.
The words of the wicked are like a murderous ambush,
but the words of the godly save lives.
The wicked die and disappear,
