According to scripture, He is in full controle, soveriengn over all creation, it's hard to comprehend, but according to scripture, it states that all things are upheld by the Word of His power.
And also states that in God we all live and move and have our being.
As far as allowingt nature to run it's course, I believe that scripture backs that up also, but yet at the very same time, the course it's running is still under the sovereign power of God.
I know that this is hard to understand, but I believe that because God is God, He is the only one that can do both simultaneously, beyond our comprehension.
That even though nature functions on it's own accord, it is still God who is soveriegn over the functions of nature.
Here is a good example of the soveriegn Majesty of our LORD.
Rv:7:1: And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree.
If we read that literally, it makes people think that God is speaking of the earth as a flat square.
So they acuse christians that the Bible is full of metaphores.
They are wrong, because God is NEVER WRONG.
If God called it the four corners of the earth, than it is the 4 corners of the earth,
simultaneously, the earth is a sphere in our realm, but with the power and majesty of our God, it is also a flat surface with 4 corners, at the very same time.
Hos because God is able to creatwe it that way.
We only see the earth as the sphere God gave us to see it as in our realm.
That's given to us by God, but God also created it to be flat with corners that only He see's it as, but He has only revealed to us the one shape of our earth, and has reserved the other shape for himself.
Just as only God can hear nature praising Him,no scriptures are contradictroy but divine power of God demonstrated.
God stores up the snow and the rain, we only see the natural function, but God crested it to work uin the spiritual as well.
If we take everything God has written in His Word, literally, that seems contradictory with science and natural law, we weould learn that the natural world as we know it, is given to us in the natural, but it was also created with spiritual dimension, which can only be sought out by finding these scriptures and taking them literally.
Then we casn see the glory of God who is sovereign and Holy and RIGHTEOUS in all HIS works
