In the days after 9/11, there were several incidents where planes flying in a suspicious
way in the sky got the attention of the air controllers. Fighter jets were immediately
deployed from the air bases to come alongside the errant planes and escort them safely
through the air until they landed.
That is what the Holy Spirit does. The Spirit comes alongside us when we are "in
trouble," makes himself known to us, escorts us on our way, communicating all the way,
and then helps bring us down for a safe landing. The "Counselor" is one who comes
alongside.
