God is the Fundamental Controlling Entity

 Reality consists of many fundamental elements -- space, time, mind, matter; there's also such a thing as a fundamental logic. God is the FUNDAMENTAL CONTROLLING ENTITY of this reality who strings together all these disparate elements. What God does *by nature* frames fundamental logic as these actions set the limits of possibility (and impossibility). 

All these fundamental elements of reality do not proceed *literally* from God as some assume. They are not created by God. But this in no way diminishes the exalted nature of God. But, rather, magnifies and pronounces it. For if there were really no entity apart from God and everything proceeded literally from him, then how could

 there be any TRUE supremacy. In the face of these multiple fundamental elements -- which have their own separate existence -- God can now be glorified and praised in a very real sense as the lynchpin of all existence, as the monarch of reality and as the supreme entity to which all other entities are subordinate. Tales and stories glorifying God can now personify entities such as time and matter and depict them as singing his praises and regarding him as their master and controller.
