Psalm 36:5–12, “Thy mercy, O LORD, is in the heavens; and thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast. How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings. They shall be abundantly satisfied with the fatness of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the river of thy pleasures. For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light. O continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee; and thy righteousness to the upright in heart. Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me. There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise.”

Even though our natural tendency is not to fear the Lord, the Lord is still merciful. He doesn’t immediately give us what we have chosen, that is, to be removed from His love forever. He is patient and gives people opportunities to see His goodness and to believe in Him rather than reject Him. We can learn to have a holy fear of the Lord but this will lead us to complete reliance on His mercy. He keeps us alive each and every day that we live. He gives the things that we need to stay alive and gives us all sufficient information to learn that He is God and should be feared. Eventually, the Lord will let people have the fruit of their own choice but not without giving them many chances to escape the destiny that they have chosen.
