Per Deuteronomy 18:6, a Levite may choose his own time of service at the Temple. He can't be drafted or forced to serve. Once there, though, he doesn't necessarily get to choose his own job. This is a lot like surrendering to God. He calls, but he won't force you to answer except under extraordinary circumstances. But once you have committed to serve him, you don't get to dictate the terms of your service. It's all or nothing.
Vs 6-8 imply that a Levite is only entitled to a share in the firstfruits offerings when he is actively engaged in service at the altar. This also suggests that we should materially support those engaged in spiritual ministry in God's Kingdom.
Our 2nd Hebrew School lesson was just uploaded to YouTube. Today we're learning the first four consonants in the Hebrew Alephbeit, plus a few more vowels. We plan to release videos every Monday and Friday morning, so be sure to subscribe! :-)
The firstfruits of your grain, of your wine and of your oil, and the first fleece of your sheep, you shall give him.
Deuteronomy 18:4
Grain, wine, oil, and fleece in this verse aren't meant to limit the firstfruits offerings. They are only stand-ins for all the products of human labor and wealth.

Typically I try to write something informative or thoughtful, today I’m looking for some input… Solomon writes there is noting new under the sun, implying that everything cycles. Other than the flood of Noah and the destruction of the cities on the plain, which cycle might you think we are currently in that has happened before which shifted the world or the way we might live? Please provide historical accounts, Biblical or otherwise.
