From what I've experienced and learned, the fear of the Lord is reverential fear.
Reverence is to honor and respect. This should be felt by and shown to God.

Reverence is to honor and respect. This should be felt by and shown to God.
Reverence is expressed to every time you CHOOSE to, with an honest heart:
- Say "Thank you"
- Believe what God says in the bible and through others
- Love others like Christ
- Love yourself like Christ
- Follow God's instructions and way for living
- Ask God for help and guidance
- Wait for God's guidance
- Share God's word with others
Choose to fear God because you love him for WHO he is and his characteristics. He is such a good God and loves you dearly...He shows this daily...it makes his heart glad when we return this love to him as an act of gratitude (not in worry of punishment, or as a burdensome task). Love on the Lord by fearing him.
