My husband and I had opposite reactions. Caught shoulder to shoulder in a sea of people during a Fourth of July celebration, I was ecstatic while he was seized by stomach cramps. What is your personality type? Are you energized or de-energized by crowds?
My guess is that no matter how God wired us, when we are focused on praising him with all of our hearts, our awareness of our surroundings is consumed by the brightness of his glory, for "God in the midst of [us] is mighty" (Zephaniah 3:17, KJV) and inhabits the praises of his people (Psalm 22:3, KJV). It takes one candle to dispel the darkness. Imagine the glory of 30,000.
