rebels

If.... God 'tells every lightning bolt where it should go', and he does, then.... Why did Jesus rebuke the waves? Was nature itself acting in disobedience to God? One doesn't rebuke someone when they are doing what they're meant to be doing...

This question opens up far toomanyquestions for me... Rebuking waves is just too far out of the box! The idea that nature itself could rebel against God is a strange thought to think about. It has a duality. Either He is in control, or He is not... which is it? He is obviously able to control, or the rebuke would have been futile. The waves obeyed! So weird...

Are we meant, always, to just accept things as they are, because they are 'natural'? Do we have to accept something just because it can be explained 'naturally', 'scientifically'? Can something that is 'natural' and 'scientific' be completely outside the will of God?? Worthy of 'rebuke'??

And why did he curse the poor little fig tree?? So many questions...
