Proverbs 25:9
Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another.
Neighbors should be able to discuss disputes with one another and not let others know about the matters.
The bible tells us to love our neighbor as our self, not to defraud them and speak peace to them. Neighborly love should continue. Receiving Neigborly Advice is something totally different.
Neighbors are known to talk about matters that does not concern them. Issues that does not involve them.
Neighborly advice is one thing but Godly advice is better.
Considering advice from an older neighbor; one that is wise and seasoned in years and conversation is better than one that is younger, not experienced and unfruitful.
Good advice is fruitful and unselfish. Bad advice is selfish and will not have a fruitful outcome for all concerned.
Many times we have to consider the source the advice is coming from. Whether the advice is helpful or deceitful.
Let's remember that good advice is also Godly advice. It has the fruits of the spirit and wisdom in it.
Until we meet again - soon.
