How will others know that you are a part of God’s house? We who are His let it be known through our testimony all He has done for us. In Psalms 105, David offers praise and worship to God when they brought the Ark of the Covenant to Mount Zion to a tent he had made to house it. The people there offered sacrifices to God and then were fed. In his worship, David recounted the history of the people and what led to this time of worshipping the Lord. God had carefully led them through troubled times, delivering them as a people, so it was upon them to honor God for the blessing he had placed upon them. We can never give back to God or worship Him enough to cover all He has done for us, but we can certainly try, just as David did. That is why, even in our minor gatherings, we offer thankfulness and praise to God through our prayers at the beginning of those events, usually right before we eat. Some of our festivals are in honor of God and others for pleasurable camaraderie, but in all occasions, we give thanks to the Lord for His work in our lives. 

O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. Psalms 105:1-3
