Read psalms 111:10 This verse begins with a scary word: fear.  You don't want to be afraid of anything.  But it is actually good to be afraid of some things.  For instance, electricity.  Electricity is used to cook our food.  Electricity is used to keep our milk cold in the refrigerator and to pop popcorn in the microwave.  We have lights on the ceiling and in the lamps so that we can see at night - all made to work by electricity.  But, if you put your finger into the electrical outlet, you can get burned really badly.  Electricity can hurt you, but it is intended to help you.  That is the way with God.  God is holy and can't allow sin.  But He has made a way for us to have our sins forgiven by the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.  God punishes sin, but He also loves us and does many good things for us.  We should be careful with electricity.  Our verse says that if we fear God, we are beginning to be wise.  And that is a good thing.
