Proverbs 10:27-28

Proverbs 10:27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
 
This fear that we see hear is a healthy fear. It is a state of mind in which one’s own attitudes, will, feeling, deeds, and goals are exchanged for God’s. When someone is walking in the favor of God they are promised a long life . One place the Bible tells us to expect a long life is the 10 commandments, where it says honor thy father and mother where your days may be long. The wicked have have a different kind of fear because they never know what is going to happen to them next because of their deeds. Even after this life we see the really of the hope we as Christians have in life eternal with our savior which we can rejoice and be glad for. On the other hand the wicked have nothing to look forward to because they have no hope of eternal life in heaven with God.
