'"Fear" in the Bible means to be overwhelmed' (p.68, Tim Keller, The Meaning of Marriage)
Why have I not heard that before?!
I've struggled to work out what fear of the Lord looks like. The Bible makes clear that it is not simply being scared which is too negative, but neither is it simply reverence which is too safe. Overwhelmed/overcome seems to capture it well.
