I always thought that was a strange expression. Nowadays it just means to be devout but I assume it goes back to the olden days where people really believed you should fear "the wrath of god".
It really means to understand the awesomeness of God's power in His creation and to humble ourselves before it, that is, that to know we are not God and have limits.
