Emblazoned in danger yellow, “mind the gap,” is an apropos British saying. To the British, the “gap” is the space between the train platform and the train – a tripping and falling hazard, hence the warning. Collectively, the gap is any time of waiting, likewise a dangerous time. Here we’re apt to make rash decisions, push outcomes, begin or end things prematurely – all in an attempt to remain in control and to quell the anxiety that lives in that place of the unknown. Here we are reminded:

“in all things God works for the good for those who love him,
who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28

God has a plan. God knows the way. God knows the timing that is in the highest good and God is working it out.  All we have to do is wait, watch, have patience and trust. God is working it out and our intrusion (attempts to control) will only mess it up.  Don’t be your own source of sabotage.

In all things, mind the gap!
