Toby has favorite things. His favorite toy. His favorite snack. And his favorite game-the one he always wants to play just one more time!Toby has big questions, too. "Who made me?" "Does God hear me when I pray?" "What does it mean to put God first?"in the Bible, God says, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." -Exodus 20:3, KJV Those words are the first of the Ten Commandments. They teach us that God alone is the one we should worship.But what does that mean for a kid like Toby?It starts with learning to love God, trust Him, and listen to what He teaches-even when Toby really wants his own way. Toby can still love his toys, enjoy his games, and get excited about something new. Those are good things to enjoy! But a toy cannot take God's place.As Toby learns, he sometimes makes mistakes.Sometimes he needs help.And sometimes he needs to say, "I'm sorry."Through it all, Toby discovers that God loves him and that he can turn to God every day.Come along with Toby as he learns one big lesson through little everyday moments: We can enjoy many things, but God comes first.
