Fear of the Lord is to be construed as "reverence" of the Lord, NOT terror of the lord as some may interpret it to mean.

fear of the lord is being afraid of a guy in a white rode with a white beard who will case people to hell if they do not blindly follow his ideas as they are passed on to everyone through religious leaders
Of course there is no actually proof that this lord or god exists

Fear of the Lord is a fear that reaches down to the bottom of your inner soul and ties it into knots ,the moment your sins rush through your brain and you say God please forgive me ....hope this helps . BTW , FYI, you Will know it when it happens,without a doubt.

My mother was a Methodist Sunday school teacher. She said "fear of the Lord" meant fear displeasing him. That's one of the reasons I am now a witch.

“And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even unto the other end of the earth: they shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried, they shall be dung upon the ground” (Jeremiah 25:33).

the bible tells us not to fear someone who can take our life:but to fear god who can destroy both our body and soul. Makes sense doesn't it. One the first can only kill you: while disobedience to god in sin can cause you to lose your human life and the heavan also.

Staying away from sins because you believe in God's punishment.
