Where is the house you will build for me?

Isaiah 66:01-14
Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be?
Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being, declares the Lord.
For when I called, no one answered, when I spoke, no one listened. They did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.
Can a country be born in a day or a nation be brought forth in a moment? Yet no sooner is Zion in labor than she gives birth to her children. 
Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love herrejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her.
I will extend peace to her like a river,  and the wealth of nations like a flooding streamyou will nurse and be carried on her arm and dandled on her knees.
Those who go their own sinful way, who refuse to listen to God will be judged. But God has a place reserved in his new world of those of humble faith. The nation will be reborn, their suffering a thing of the past. These are the faithful ones (the 'remnant' of God's people).
Why?
God will judge those evil men and reject God's word, but God's have reserve a good place for those who fear the Lord and listen to his word.
There is place that rejoice and peace and wealth reserved to the faithful ones.
God don't need any building or places man made for him. for all heavens and world is made by his hand. God like to build a house in my heart. So God may stay with me.
How?
Do not limit the strength of the Lord, God is the sovereign Lord, God is the fountain of blessing.
