Notice, according to that verse, it’s ourselves we must examine. We’re the ones who need to be checked up on, not God. We don’t have to evaluate Him to see if He’s getting things right, because He never misses it. If we’ve been asking Him for something and it seems like we’re not getting anywhere, or if we aren’t seeing His promises manifest in our lives, He isn’t the problem.
The problem is on our end.
“Well, I don’t know about that,” someone might say. “I think I’d be doing fine if the people in my church were just more supportive. They aren’t praying for me and standing with me like they should. So in my case, they’re the problem.”
