While the fear of God is often seen as a "bad" thing, it is the very thing that can keep us from ruining our lives. For example, most (normal) people fear the police. This fear isn't an irrational, knee-knocking fear, but a healthy one that keep us from driving faster than is safe for us or from running a red light (which could potentially kill us). This fear keeps us safe on the roadways. In much the same way, God keeps us safe from sin through our fear of being caught by Him (and we will, for God sees all). This so often keeps us from sorrow, disease, and regret throughout our lives, leaving us truly free to do His will.
