In my opinion, nature is subject to God because He fully understands all the laws and workings of nature. If He bent or broke laws, nobody (or nothing) would obey Him -- He couldn't be trusted. For example, the miracles Jesus performed may have seemed like "magic" or miracles to those in His day, but someday we'll understand how He did them, and they won't seem so mysterious anymore. Imagine how the pioneers would feel if they could see us driving in our cars, talking on cell phones to people hundreds of miles away or flying in airplanes... that would seem magical or miraculous, but it's all technology and using the physical laws of this earth for our benefit.
