¿Qué estás haciendo, Dios?

Esto dice el SEÑOR: «El cielo es mi trono y la tierra es el estrado de mis pies. ¿Podrían acaso construirme un templo tan bueno como ese? ¿Podrían construirme un lugar de descanso así? Con mis manos hice tanto el cielo como la tierra; son míos, con todo lo que hay en ellos. ¡Yo, el […]
