There's a great scene in Leviticus 9:23, where after receiving all the requirements for the tabernacle and the offerings, the people build the tabernacle and God's presence inhabits it. Then, Moses and Arron went into the tabernacle. When the came out "the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people. Fire came out from the presence of the Lord and consumed the burnt offering ... AND WHEN THE PEOPLE SAW IT, THEY SHOUTED FOR JOY AND FELL FACE DOWN."
Don't you love that. The presence and glory of God produces joy and fear. They shouted for joy (YAHOO!!!!!) then fell face down (HOLY POWER WOW EEK!!!). God bring us into your presence so we can experience this intense meeting of Joy and Fear.
