Does God follow his WORD? Or is it --- do as I say and not as I do?

Does God follow his WORD? Or is it --- do as I say and not as I do?
Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Job 2;3 And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil? and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move Me against him, to destroy him without cause.'
From what I have read in scriptures, God does not follow the advice that he gives in his WORD. The above shows him overcome by evil and replying with evil.
Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
If we are to emulate God as scriptures say we should, should we too ignore his WORD the way he does?
At the end of days and in many biblical stories of the past, God is overcome by evil and responds with evil while telling us we should respond with good.
Which example should we follow; what God says or what God does?
I think that if God is saying, --- do as I say and not as I do, ---- that that is an immoral example that only a satanic demiurge would say. Yet it appears that that is what God is saying.
Should we follow God, --- or his advice and WORD?
They are not the same. One is good the other evil.

No. Yes.
God would be the worst parent ever. If he were real he would've had his kids taken away long ago.

It's very "Do as I say, not as I do". Check out the definition of love that the bible gives. You relly think Yahweh matches that description?
1 Corinthians 13:4-7New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
He is a jealous god, and loves to remind people I am the Lord thy God. He is definitely self seeking, easily angered, and keeps a record of wrongs. Apparently he doesn't always protect, and as soon as you die he will cast you away for eternity.

He doesn't follow His word. It's just laws for us puny humans, not for Gods.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

The only funny thing I see here is your sense of humour

"Should we follow God, --- or his advice and WORD?

Clearly we should follow neither. God gives shit advice.
More like one is evil and the other is worse.
