When God says to the elements "do this" they obey.They do so in an orderly fashion not because they are puppets, but because the elements hear his voice and obey.
So you think that elements are conscious beings??
God knows these natural laws and abides by them, and that is what gives him is power. Jesus is the same. It is not a matter of a law being above God, it is a matter of God understanding the law, and higher laws still, until he knows them all, and has mastered them all.
I agree that God knows the laws of nature. The Mormon "God" is indeed subject to laws that are higher than himself and which he had to learn about. The Mormon "God" is not the God of the Bible. The God of the Bible knows the laws, principles and forces of nature because he CREATED them. Col 2:16-17 is explicit on this simple matter:
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Its your speculations vs. the word of God, Fig.
I have every reason to believe God and no reason to believe you.
