Everyone should seek Gods advice, we should want to be like him and glorify him in everything that we do! Seeking God's advice is only a small step towards showing your true faith. There is no point seeking Gods advice if you do not believe in him! He loves you hear from you:)

If, as I assume, you are Christian, the answer is supposed to be a resounding yes. If you are not, it becomes murky. There are beliefs that vary from saying that people have invented the theory of god and the ability to make rational ethical decisions is a potential we all have, to (Buddhism for example) which thinks that if there is a god or if he/she exists they are irrelevant as this does nothing to alleviate the suffering of those living now. (See the parable of the poison arrow). I've even heard some point out that the power to create doesn't necessarily correlate with ultimate love, wisdom, or anything like having your best interest in mind. It's really up to how you view god.
Next, the "best advice" is very subjective. Best for your goals? Best for your parents goals? Best to achieve your goals? Most effective for what end? If there is a personal god, and he knows best, then yes his advice would be best. But what if he wants you to learn some lesson by being a homeless person...then, you may disagree and not want to follow the advice.
However, that would lead's me to question personal revelation or how you are getting this advice and how you know you are getting it correctly, psychologists will likely tell you that you hear what you think god would say based on previous beliefs, purely cognitive creativity at work ... Some people think god literally talks, some suggest he nudges you the right direction, some think he set the world in motion and doesn't interact daily, thus not giving you advice at all and some say check the bible, koran etc and it will answer any question you need to be asking.
Without more info, that's the best I can come up with for now. Hope this helps.

All Christians seek God's advice, because if you have better bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist,confusion and every evil thing will be there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits without partiality and without hypocrisy. (James 3:13-18)

The people who are humble enough to know that God is much, much, much, MUCH smarter and wiser than any of us could ever dream of being (Isaiah 55:8-9) will seek the Lord and His advice. And, thankfully, within the pages of His holy word, the Bible, He gives His advice, the BEST advice (Matthew 7:7-11), so freely.

The Bible was written by the same people who thought the Earth was flat and it was perfectly acceptable to stone your wife for not producing a male child.

''CONSTANTLY REMEMBER ME ALONE'', SAYS GOD. This is His advice to humanity. God is the one and only SAVIOUR, REDEEMER AND PURIFIER. None of the founders of the religious scripture books, saints, gurus, messengers, teachers, prophets is equal to Him. So, the essence of God's advice is that the more we remember Him the more our sins are absolved. That is to say that to the extent that we remember Him, to that same extent we get salvation. People think the mere belief in Jesus, as the son of God, could save their lives. This is false. To remember God constantly and to develop all relationships with Him are the things He expects to see us perform.

I do, all the time. I pray my ears and eyes are open when he tells me or shows me. He is the way to go as He is the most powerful and the one who created us and knows the numbers of hair we have on our heads.
