A simple package to grab a Bible proverb corresponding to the day of the month.

Installation

Install the released version of proverbs from CRAN:

install.packages("proverbs")

You can install the development version of proverbs like so:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("bradlindblad/proverbs")

Usage

The proverbs package was built to do one thing: print out a daily proverb to your R console. There are 31 proverbs, and up to 31 days in each month.

Many people like to read a proverb for each day of the month, so they end up reading proverbs once a month, twelve times a year.

This package prints the chapter of proverbs that corresponds to that day of the month; ie. on the 21st of June proverbs will print Proverbs 21.

and don’t have a man’s understanding.

neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.
