Do Not Settle for Counterfeit Glory | 15 August 2026

Here’s your daily dose of what matters most!

When we remember who we are and what we are becoming, we can recognize choices, influences, and ambitions that promise more than they can actually give us. Where might we be settling for less than our divine potential, and what step would move us closer to the life God wants for us?

Scripture

“And it came to pass that Moses looked upon Satan and said: Who art thou? For behold, I am a son of God, in the similitude of his Only Begotten; and where is thy glory, that I should worship thee?”Moses 1:13

Quote

“Our understanding of the nature and purpose of God the Eternal Father explains our destiny and our relationship in his eternal family. Our theology begins with heavenly parents. Our highest aspiration is to be like them. Under the merciful plan of the Father, all of this is possible through the atonement of the Only Begotten of the Father, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.”—Dallin H. Oaks, “Apostasy and Restoration”

Living the Principle: Do Not Settle for Counterfeit Glory

  • Notice one influence, habit, or goal that pulls attention away from who you want to become, and choose one small way to limit it today.
  • Before making a decision, ask whether it reflects your divine potential or simply offers an easier, more immediate reward.
  • Choose one action each day that moves you closer to God, such as praying with greater purpose, serving someone, or keeping a commitment you know matters.
