The fear of the Lord is likened to a seasoned airline pilot. He understands the dangers of flying. He has to be perfect at his craft. Fear is what keeps him aligned so that he flys well. It causes him to learn everything he needs to know about the the flight panel and all the buttons and switches in front of him in the cockpit. It is also the love of flying that drives him to do it. Love and fear are working together. When he is flying and has the understanding that he has all the knowledge he needs, the fear becomes like autopilot. It's in the back of his mind but he doesn't think about it while he flies, all he thinks about is his purpose as an airline pilot, his and the passengers destination, and the love that he has for it and the love that he has for the people on board. For both his crew, working in unity, and his passengers who trust him to make it across the cold stretch of sky. His fear is healthy fear. It's not a negative fear. He doesn't have to fly. But he wants to because he loves to. So he understands the implications of the fear and dangers of flying.
