god gets my attention on a regular basis. i was taught that god wouldn't let me fail. if i took the test and didn't pass {not fail if there is another test i can take}, if i don't pass the first one, he lets me take it again. example. you have spent your entire life with one annoying coworker after another. always the same, self centered, bossy, know it all. until you erupt and make yourself look like a horses ****. you didn't pass the test how many times? and you want to take it how many more? this is how god gets our attention. fix yourself before you fix others.

God does not bring trials upon us, he does not cause the storms or any other problems we face, James 1:13 says When under trial, let no one say, "I am being tried by God." For with evil God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone. God blesses all in that he makes it rain on the righteous and the unrighteous and makes the sun shine upon the good as well as the bad. All good and perfect gifts come down from above from our heavenly Father, and did he not suffer great loss in showing the greatest act of love ever shown when he sent his only begotten Son to die for our sins so that we could have a hope of everlasting life. To get our attention he gave us his written word and he sends His Witnesses to our doors.

Rather than doing things to get our attention, God uses things that do happen. When bad things happen, God will help us to learn from them and to make the best out the circumstances we then find ourselves in. But God doesn't micro-manage the universe just to get our attention.

I think that god showes us everyday his beauty in all that we look at and can see from afar,,
Sunsets, Rain, etc.
But we make our own choices and the out come of them we may want to blame God for it ,but in reality God lets us make our own choices and we usually know its the wrong choice at the time but our desires take over and we heed to them instead of doing what is right , after words God will help us if we ask and forgive us if we are truely sincere in our confessions, and we should learn not to make the same mistakes,and he will help us with the after math, I just asked my husband what does God do to get our attention and he suddenly said ,,,Rainbows,,,, I said thats all ? and he said ok well i have you dont i? And wow that got my attention,, so through Gods love for us he gives us his attention, then he gets ours, ty.

When a thought I've been seeking for months strikes me and sends a bolt of energy through my body. When a hardship brings questions, yet never enough termoil to give-up on him. When I'm hit with rain. When I'm listening to On Fire by Switchfoot. When the wind strikes me, and I feel God through it. When I'm in the Mountains, because they make me feel as close to him as possible, as though I'm looking at him in a way, because all the elements seem to come alive there through him. Thank you for asking such a good question:)

God gives us a sort of punishment if we did wrng by earthquakes,volcanos,floods(tusunami) so we would stop making thing that he ordered us not to do and if the rain fall this means that God is happy from us so the rain is falling to water the plants of the earth :)

Once, when I was trying to get our sick, crying 7 month old to sleep in the middle of the night. I was so tired and feeling so bad for our son since he was so sick. All of a sudden, he stopped crying, looked at me and touched his hand to my face, smiled, then went to sleep. That was God saying to me "everything will be all right".

Considering the only thing that God ever does is not exist, nothing.

knowing god is there when we are up on a mountain and really with us when we are down in the valley...we seem to know him and need him more when we are in the valley...god is always there we need to seek him....god does do things at times i believe to wake us up and let us remember who he is...i really believe in god and always will.. and i know now that he lives within me... and i realise i probably would not be alive today but god has his purpose for me here on this world...
