“Remain faithful to what you have learned and believed... proclaim the word; be persistent whether it is convenient or inconvenient”. Paul makes it very clear that the scriptures we hear are God’s inspired word for us. Therefore, when we pray with the Scriptures, we can be confident that God shows us where and with whom we are to “proclaim the word.” So as the familiar hymn proclaims, “Take the word of God with you as you go. Take the seeds of God’s word and let them grow.”
