This is probably the best answer I've ever heard to the question, "Why did God create evil?"

A professor at the university asked his students the following question:

“Everything that exists was created by God?”
One student bravely answered:
“Yes, it was created by God.”

The professor asked :
“If God created everything, then God created evil, since it exists. And according to the principle that our deeds define ourselves, then God is evil.”

The student became silent after hearing such an answer. The professor was very pleased with himself. He boasted to students for proving once again that faith in God is a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said:
“Can I ask you a question, professor?”
"Of course," replied the professor.

“Professor, is cold a thing?”
“What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you ever been cold?”
Students laughed at the young man's question.

The young man answered:
“Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is actually the absence of heat. A person or object can be studied on whether it has or transmits energy.
Absolute zero (-460 degrees Fahrenheit) is a complete absence of heat. All matter becomes inert and unable to react at this temperature. Cold does not exist. We created this word to describe what we feel in the absence of heat.”

The student continued:
“Professor, does darkness exist?”
“Of course it exists.” said the professor.
“You're wrong again, sir. Darkness also does not exist. Darkness is actually the absence of light. We can study the light but not the darkness. We can use Newton's prism to spread white light across multiple colors and explore the different wavelengths of each color. You can't measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into the world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you tell how dark a certain space is? You measure how much light is presented. Isn't it so? Darkness is a term man uses to describe what happens in the absence of light.”

In the end, the young man asked the professor:
“Sir, does evil exist?”
This time it was uncertain, the professor answered:
“Of course, as I said before. We see him every day. Cruelty, numerous crimes and violence throughout the world. These examples are nothing but a manifestation of evil.”

To this, the student answered:
“Evil does not exist, sir, or at least it does not exist for itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is like darkness and cold—a man-made word to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not faith or love, which exist as light and warmth. Evil is the result of the absence of Divine love in the human heart. It’s the kind of cold that comes when there is no heat, or the kind of darkness that comes when there’s no light.”

I was talking recently with someone who is at the apex of his field globally, and he told me Psalm 37:4 carried him through a season of chaos and disappointment. I went back and studied not just the verse but the two that follow, and I haven’t been the same since.

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart.”

It says DELIGHT. Not obey, not tolerate, not fear. Basically enjoy.

That word changes everything. God isn’t after robotic compliance. He wants to be the center of gravity in your inner world. Not a side interest. Not a Sunday ritual. The thing your mind returns to when everything goes quiet.

But here’s the tension: how do you actually enjoy God?

We enjoy the things we enjoy cos we understand them. You can’t enjoy football if you don’t understand the point of the game. You can’t love someone deeply if you don’t know who they actually are or what moves them. The same applies to God. You start by understanding who He is and why He exists.

God didn’t create us out of loneliness or need. He existed in perfect, self-sufficient love before time began. Creation was overflow, not deficit. Which means His desire for you is based on communion. His purpose is to unite the world to Himself because in Him is the only source of actual life.

When God becomes what delights you, something both subtle and seismic happens: your desires change. Whatever delights you shapes what you love and what you chase. Anyone who’s ever been in love knows this instinctively.

So when the Psalm says He will give you the desires of your heart, it’s not promising to grant your current cravings. It’s saying He rewrites your appetite entirely. He plants His own longings inside you, for truth, depth, holiness, courage, love and then fulfills what He Himself planted. God never fails to accomplish His own desires.

That’s why verse 5 feels so dangerous:

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will bring it to pass.”

We recoil from that line cos we think surrender means erasure, as if God wants to override who we are. But why would a God who was already complete need to dominate us?

Everything about His nature points the opposite direction; toward overwhelming, self-giving love. He is more sufficient in Himself than a father without children, yet He sustains us more faithfully than any earthly father ever could.

Our desires are often small and short-sighted, like a child demanding candy instead of dreaming of a future. We insist we know what we want. We’re adults with full agency. But God is infinitely greater, infinitely wiser, not just as a father compared to a child, but as the eternal architect of reality compared to one of His creations. He knows what will actually make us whole.

Now look how the passage ends:

“He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, and your justice like the noonday sun.”

It doesn’t say His righteousness. It says yours. He will vindicate you, reveal the truth about who you are, and set things right.

The sequence is crisp and beautiful. God captures your heart, redirects your path, then restores your name. And He does it emphatically; like the noonday sun. You can’t miss it. You can’t ignore it. You can’t pretend it’s not there.
