Some suggest that when King Xerxes gave his drunken order for the Queen to appear in public with her royal crown – that was all she was allowed to wear…thus she refused to comply with something she found offensive. Another meaning for being “in high spirits” here is not making good or proper decisions. Whenever we allow foreign substances to alter our mind and thinking we will make poor, spur of the moment decisions. For when alcohol, and drugs cloud our thought process, really stupid decisions can be made…with really sad far-reaching results.

Esther 4:14 ” And who knows but that you have come to Royal position for such a time as this? “
Queen Esther was exactly where God wanted her to be, at exactly the right time, to save the entire Jewish nation. We never know when the Lord will place us in just the right spot to serve Him…even sometimes being totally oblivious to the fact that He is using us at all… until much later. But the point to remember is that God will accomplish His purpose on His terms, not ours…and He will and can use anything, and any person to do it.
