Ooh, and if there is a God, He has a nature including a nature of ‘thinking’. Not that He has to think as we do. He has, is a nature of being. The - capital Tee - nature of being. It is remarkably humble in that it is in His nature to defer to the laws of nature, including the physical, which are prevenient. Not that He has any choice of course. He breaks them at the point of creation, of grounding being which wouldn’t happen otherwise IF He exists, and around Incarnation and otherwise ineffably by the Spirit. He is constant, He changeth not, therefore creation - His autonomous thought - does not. As below, so above.
He is the purist minimalist, the still small voice, the provincial carpenter’s son, the suffering servant. One of the translations of El Shaddai, God Almighty, is the enough, the sufficient. Humble.
Of course he does, but that is not the way I was using the word, was it. I were talking about nature as being the cosmos, and God being super-natural. Recall:

Sigh. I unlisted this because clearly the two of you can still not manage to stop making one lined quips at each other and it does not need to grace our front page. But keep going as you were, if you desire.

Is that a change in your thinking, since he has been heretofore been declared impotent by you from intervening, or just a difference between influencing and intervening?

No change. He chooses impotence even when He intervenes. He certainly didn’t need to influence the culture He intervened in to ensure His appalling death. If anything He nudged Deutero-Isaiah, whoever that was, and played His part. The faithfulness of Christ eh?
