"My covenant was with him, a covenant of life and peace, and I gave them to him; this called for reverence and he revered me and stood in awe of my name
True instruction was in his(Levi cf.2:4) mouth and nothing false was found on his lips. He walked with me in peace and uprightness, and turned many from sin.
For the lips of priest ought to preserve knowledg, and from his mouth men should seek instruction-because he is the messenger fo the LORD Almighty. (Malachi 2:5-7)

Heavenly Father, please make us Levi,  a true priest.

I pray in Christ Jesus name Amen.
