“And now no one looks on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them. Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty. The Almighty—we cannot find him; he is great in power; justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate. Therefore men fear him; he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”

Elihu concludes his discourse with a concise summary of the attributes of the LORD, God, the Almighty which inspire, or should inspire, awesome fear. He could not, nor can I fully comprehend the awesome majesty that is the LORD. I can understand it no more than I can comprehend the majesty of the sun by staring into it.

I am beginning to understand that it is the reality of the incomplete comprehension of the awesomeness of the LORD, God, the Almighty that is the Fear of the LORD.
