The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God, therefore those of the world who believe they have the true knowledge of Christ are deceived and live without truly knowing Him! Those who fear God have a knowledge those of the world do not understand (Psalm 25:12-14) What man is he that feareth the LORD? him shall he teach in the way that he shall choose. His soul shall dwell at ease; and his seed shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant. (1 Corinthians 1:18-21).
In times of trouble we know God is our refuge and we shall be hid in the secret of His tabernacle til the trouble passes (Psalm 27:4,5).One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
Just as Moses was known as the friend of God,Jesus considers us friends as well if we do what He has commanded us to do. Scripture tells us what He has heard of His Father He will make known to us as well!(John 15:12-16) This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
God reveals His knowledge to us if we are obedient in doing His will by faith! (Romans 16:25-27) Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
The great mystery was kept secret, but has been revealed to His saints which is Christ in you, the hope of glory! Our Lord is not dead, but still walks the earth through His people that are moved by the Holy Spirit! (Colossians 1:26-29). Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
For the froward is abomination to the Lord: but his secret is with the righteous. The curse of the Lord is in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just. (Proverbs 3:32,33).
So good… “the secret of the Lord is with them who fear Him” only those who know Him fear Him with that holy reverential wonder in their hearts.

Amen Dear Brother in Christ! The fear we have for Him is a gift that ensures we will never depart from Him.
“And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me. Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.”(Jeremiah 32:40,41).
Many Blessings.
