day no. 14,667: take root downward and bear fruit upward

2 Kings 19:30 
And the surviving remnant of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward. 

The remnant of God is always characterized by taking root downward and bearing fruit upward: never the one without the other and never the last before the first. 

No root, no fruit.

We cannot grow unless we are rooted in God; and the more rooted we are, the more fruitful we become.
