fear


God is mighty and powerful. He can wipe out my "vain plans" in an instant. He can wipe me out in an instant. That is why my response to Him should be to "serve with fear and rejoice with trembling". Its not a fear about Him suddenly losing His rag and sending down plagues on me - its a fear and respect based on His awesome power and holiness. With that as the starting point, then we realise how big a deal it is that He still loves us and offers us forgiveness. Without that starting point then what's the big deal??
