Good advice? What good advice?

¹⁵ Meanwhile, Absalom and all the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him. ¹⁶ Then Hushai the Arkite, David’s confidant, went to Absalom and said to him, “Long live the king! Long live the king!”
¹⁷ Absalom said to Hushai, “So this is the love you show your friend? If he’s your friend, why didn’t you go with him?”
¹⁸ Hushai said to Absalom, “No, the one chosen by the Lord, by these people, and by all the men of Israel—his I will be, and I will remain with him. ¹⁹ Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve the son? Just as I served your father, so I will serve you.”
²⁰ Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give us your advice. What should we do?”
²¹ Ahithophel answered, “Sleep with your father’s concubines whom he left to take care of the palace. Then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself obnoxious to your father, and the hands of everyone with you will be more resolute.” ²² So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and he slept with his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
²³ Now in those days the advice Ahithophel gave was like that of one who inquires of God. That was how both David and Absalom regarded all of Ahithophel’s advice.

Good advice is more often than not, what we do not want to hear. Things that hurt us , things that come out of our good friend's mouth. These are the things that can help us and thats what we need and what God intended community for! This guy Ahithopel is not Godly, he gives advice that the king wants to hear, not that thing that would help the king most. If he really loved the king, he would have said something like, return your father to His rightful place and stop being such a young kid. It was unfortunate that he did not and he only said whatever that Absalom wanted to hear. That he is going to be king and the ways of which he is going to achieve that. Even if he is really going to be king, this way is not the way. God would not approve of this. He would be falling into the trap on doing the correct things at the wrong time. It would still amount to the wrong thing anyways. So, just a end note. Just trust in the Lord and in all things seek Him. Thats it. Nothing else. Eh! :D Praise the LORD.
