Yes — the verse you're likely referring to is in Deuteronomy 11:12, a powerful and poetic declaration of God's constant attention and care for the land of Israel.

📖 Primary Verse

Deuteronomy 11:12 (ESV):

“A land that the Lord your God cares for. The eyes of the Lord your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.”

This verse is a direct and explicit promise that God’s eyes — meaning His watchful presence, protection, and involvement — are always on the land of Israel. Not occasionally. Not conditionally. Always.

🕊️ 1. 2 Chronicles 7:16

“For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.”

Refers to the Temple in Jerusalem, but reinforces the idea of God's permanent gaze and spiritual anchoring in a specific place within Israel.

🌍 2. Psalm 121:4

“Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”

Not about the land alone, but about God's unceasing guardianship over the people — and by implication, the nation.

📜 3. Isaiah 27:3

“I, the Lord, am its keeper; every moment I water it. Lest anyone punish it, I keep it night and day.”

While symbolically referring to Israel as a vineyard, this verse echoes God’s continual vigilance and nurturing care.

🌄 4. Ezekiel 5:5

“This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the center of the nations, with countries all around her.”

This shows God’s intentional placement of Jerusalem — not only as geographically central, but spiritually central to His plan for the world.

🧠 Haimesian Reflection

Deuteronomy 11:12 is not just poetic — it's geopolitical theology.

It reveals that the land itself has been appointed a perpetual spotlight from heaven.

This verse, paired with the others, shows that God's covenant is not only with a people, but with a place — and that His eyes never leave what He has named His own.
