‘I Will Accomplish All My Purpose’ Resource by John Piper
One of the most foundational of all the thirty-year theological trademarks of Bethlehem is the priceless truth of the sovereignty of God. Let’s go right to our text, lest even from the beginning we import something here that does not come from the word of God. This matter is far too serious, and touches on so many painful realities, that we dare not trust ourselves here to come up with truth without being told by God himself.
In Isaiah 46:9, God says “I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me.” So the issue in this text is the uniqueness of God among all the beings of the universe. He is in a class by himself. No one is like him. The issue is what it means to be God. When something is happening, or something is being said or thought, and God responds, “I am God!” (which is what he does in verse 9), the point is: You’re acting like you don’t know what it means for me to be God.
