Proverbs 6:13signaling their deceit with a wink of the eye, a nudge of the foot, or the wiggle of fingers.Proverbs Daily is a reader-supported publication.

When you see the word “upgrade,” you’re simply invited to help me make the sacred positively contagious...thank you in advance for becoming a free or paid subscriber.In The Matrix Reloaded, there’s that famous moment where Neo meets the Architect, and before Neo even forms the decision in his mind, the Architect sees and says:“Already I can see the chain reaction—the chemical precursors that signal the onset of an emotion designed to overwhelm logic and reason…”And basically he’s saying, “Your choice is already known. Your body language gives you away.”That’s wild… because thousands of years earlier, Proverbs 6:13 said the same thing:A liar leaks the truth through their body. A wink of the eye. A foot twitch. A finger flick.The Bible is saying: People signal deceit without even knowing they’re signaling it.🗣️REAL TALK: “Tells” Are RealPsychology confirms it: Your body has tells.You know, tells — the tiny, involuntary reactions that poker players study to read the truth hiding behind a bluff.When we lie, blood rushes to our nose.When we are embarrassed, blood moves to our ears.When we’re falling in love, the chest warms.Truth flows freely.A lie has to fight its way out.And every time you lie, the first person you betray… is yourself.You have to override your own nature to do it.We were formed from the earth— from something honest, simple, grounded. And to lie is to rebel against the earthiness God made us from.That’s why deceit always leaks. The body confesses what the mouth refuses to say.💡THE BIG IDEABefore you deceive someone else, you have to disconnect from your own soul.You have to split yourself. Silence your conscience. Override your own inner nature.Lies don’t just break trust— they break alignment.And Proverbs is warning us:“Don’t become the kind of person who gets ‘told on’ by their own tells.”👉🏽 I’m Telling YouThe beautiful truth? Awareness is a muscle.If you choose truth— truth with yourself, truth with God, truth with people— your inner world and outer world come back into alignment.The more honest your life becomes, the fewer pieces of you leak out sideways.You become whole again. Integrated. At ease. Your “yes” means yes. Your “no” means no. Your body and your soul finally tell the same story.💥 RememberA lie fractures you.But the truth puts you back together again.PrayerLord, quiet my reflex to perform—help me stay present.Today’s ChallengeBefore you explain yourself today, pause. Hand over mouth. Tap your fingers. Feel the space between reaction and reflection.You don’t always have to make it rhyme or right. Just real. Because sometimes the most honest prayer…is the sound of your silence.About the AuthorFred Lynch is a creative communicator, author, and Christian Hip Hop pioneer.
