2 Chronicles 15:1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:

2 Chronicles 15:2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin; The LORD is with you, while ye be with him; and if ye seek him, he will be found of you; but if ye forsake him, he will forsake you.

2 Chronicles 15:3 Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "Spirit", "came", "upon", "azariah", and "oded". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "Spirit" and "came", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "And he went out to meet Asa...", so "Spirit" and "came" should be read forward into that movement. In 2 Chronicles context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "Spirit" and "came" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
