Do you think He gets actively involved in life on Earth? Or is He just watching and waiting?

Yes and no, God gave us free will, because that's what we wanted, now when things go wrong the first thing we do is blame God, or say that God does not exist because how could a God let this happen, but why should he clean up our mess, when there is war we ask him to look after our loved ones, why should he, we started the war, not God, although many of the wars has been in his name, but its man that causes the wars not God, God is there for us when we really need him, I do believe at times God waits, and watches us condemn him because things have not gone our way, before God really comes to us we need to rid ourselves of the greed that we have along with the selfish acts that we do to gain more for ourselves than others, and yes we ALL do it, once we learn to share, to care for others without wanting something back, to love without reward we will see God all around us, but we are humans, and we are greedy, and selfish, so it will take a long time before we al reach that stage.
Love & Peace

Behold! In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth; In the alternation of the night and day; In the sailing of the ships through the Oceans for the profit of mankind; In the rain which God sends down from the skies, and the life that He therewith to an earth that is dead; In the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the Earth; In the change of the winds, and the clouds which they trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth -Indeed these are signs for a people that are wise." [The Qur'aan 2:164]
"It is He who has made the sun a shining glory and the moon a light of beauty and has measured out their stages, that you might know the number of years and their reckoning.Allah did not create this but in Truth. He explains His signs in detail for people who understand.[The Qur'aan 10:5]
"He has created the heavens and the earth with Truth. Far is He above having the partners that they ascribe to him. He has created mankind from a sperm drop; and behold this (same) man becomes anopen disputer! And the cattle, He has created them for you; in them is warmth (warm clothing) and numerous benefits, and of them you eat." [The Qur'aan 16:3-5]
"Blessed be He who sent down the Criterion to His servant that it may be an admonition to all creatures. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth; no son has he begotten, nor has He any partner in His dominion; It is He who created all things and gave them their due proportions.Yet they have taken besides Him gods that can create nothing but are themselves created; that have no control of hurt or good to themselves; nor do they control life nor death nor Resurrection."[The Qur'aan 25:1-3]
"Were they created by nothing or did they create themselves? Or did they create the heavens and the earth ? No, they have no firm belief."[The Qur'aan 52:36]
"He it is who enables you to travel through land and sea, until, when you are in the ships and they sail with a favourable wind and you are glad about that. Then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to you from all sides and when you think that you are encircled by them, you call upon God making your faith pure for Him alone saying :'If You deliver us from this we shall truly be grateful.' But when He delivers you, behold! you rebel in the earth wrongfully. O mankind, your rebellion against God is only against your own selves - a brief enjoyment of this wordly life, then in the end unto Us is your return We shall inform you of that which you used to do." [The Qur'aan 10:22-23]

In the Hindu philosophy, God is termed as Pure Consciousness. In the Pure Consciousness there is no second principle. It alone exists. It has no birth or death. It is not subject to any manipulations. It has no attributes. It is All and there is nothing outside it. The so called world is termed as illusory. It is termed as a projection of Consciousness. It is a mirage at best. If at all you want to term it, it can be said as a mute witness of all the so called waking, dreaming and deep sleep experiences: nagarajan.

Many people have very different understandings of who or what God is.
Creator of the universe--a transcendent, all-knowing, all-powerful being who has always existed and is the sustainer of all things. He says, "It is I who made the earth and created mankind upon it. My own hands stretched out the heavens." "I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me." "I am...who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
God knows what it means to be one of us.
God really cares. He has said so in words. In fact, the Bible says that "God is love."
I beleive that science and religion are one day going to merge into one understanding of God.
More than a "force field" for life.
More than just a powerful Father or Mother
More than the nano- architect of nature
I believe that Nature and God are one and the same. Nature is brings about the results of the "thoughts or "intentions"of God.
Science talks about dimensions. God may be in one of them.
So might your ancestors.
Good Luck

He's very busy keeping the masses in check. Making sure that the ruling elite can keep their place in society, by subdueing the common people.

He's probably working on one of His many parallel universes we sometimes hear about

I don't see how there can be one God that created everything except if he is evil in some way. This world is torn.
