The name Fergus means 'strong'. To be strong means to posses strength of
some kind. This strength could be some moral or intellectual power, or
possessing some great resource such as wealth or talent. Physical strength
does not enter the picture so far as the interpretation of his name is
concerned. Fergus attains a different kind of strength when he allows
the Lord of Hosts to enter his life and totally change and infuse his inner
man with a strength that can come only from the lord.
Fergus
is strong in many ways. He is one that can be leaned on in a time of trouble
and be counted on when the rough times comes. He is not easily swayed, in
his opinions or judgments. But mostly he has strength of character, moral
excellence and firmness. When Fergus
loves or cares for someone, it is not a light thing. His love is strong, and
tough.
When sides are taken he is one whom it would be
wise to have on your side. Physically, Fergus may or may not be a 'big man' but, on the inside, where it
counts, in God's eyes and those who love and depend upon him, Fergus
is a giant of a man. The forces of evil tremble when the footsteps of
this man are heard coming their way.
Eph 6:10 . . . be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.
