Alex Peden was one of the Scottish Covenantors. Because he preached faithfully what he believed to be the truth, the king became angry and sent out his soldiers to capture him.
Once he and his friends stopped in a little valley, and the soldiers were just over the hill.
“Oh God,” prayed Peden earnestly, “cast the lap of Thy cloak over us.”
Moments later, a heavy mist rolled over the mountainside, hiding the little band of Christians from their enemies. The soldiers walked all around, and never guessed that they were near. Like David of old, they feared no evil, and God kept them safe in the hour of danger.
