I don't think its quite that God knows what choice we make before we make it, but that He knows what is a better life for us to live, yet allows us freewill to choose which path we want.
To put it this way, we may be faced with a good and bad choice, and God doesn't know which choice we will choose, but by the teachings of scripture, He teaches us that choosing the good choice has far better rewards than the bad choice. God knows how a person will benifit from a good moral life, and the problems of a wicked life - but always leaves the choices to us because its what we choose that surprises Him.

God is omnipotent. He knows the end from the beginning. We are truly free to make our choices and God does not interfere. Though he does always make a way out of bad choices for us, He made that way out from the beginning. The good news is that He does not interfere in choices, loves us in spite of our bad choices, and knows ahead of time what choices we make throughout our entire lives. He sees the end from the beginning. We may be in turmoil over a choice we must make, but He already knows what we will do. Some people think this is rather fatalistic, but I see it as quite inspiring. We are free to make choices, make mistakes, truly repent, look for the way out God has provided, and take the path he already knew we were taking. It's awesome. The Bible is very clear about this: God knows everything and loves us entirely.

God knows everything. He knew what we were gona be like when we were in our mommies stomach. People make bad choices because they are in the wrong path. God already knows what choices you are going to make good or bad. But he died on the crossed for us so that are sins would be forgiven and if we believe and repent in him ww will have eternal life. He knows who is going to stick by his side and who is goin to walk with rest of the world.

God knows everything and He has chosen us before creation,
Ephesians 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
But we are not PUPPETS in the hands of God that when we are tempted God allows us to be tempted and when act as BEING tempted there is no hand of God in it. For example Job was tempted to curse God due to all the torture he was going through but God had no involvement the decision of Job.
God allowed Jesus to be tempted by satan in the wilderness but God did not put his hand in the Mouth of Jesus like a glove and moved it but Jesus answered from the words of God written in the past.
God knows the future, God allows things to happen, but God does NOT forcefully control people to do or not to do His will.
The Power of choice is with us from the beginning. That is why even after being warned of the aftermath to ADAM and EVE , when they acted against God than God did not intervene to stop them.Yet Able was chosen from the foundation of the world TO LIVE ETERNALLY.
The battle between God and Evil started before or during the foundations of the world.

Before you decided to incarnate in this physical univerese. you decided what lessions you wanted to learn and how to learn them this is part of the free will that GOD gives us.
Ifyou have seen the Celtic spiral patterns ( a small circle surroned by a larger circle with interweaving lines inbetween ) this gives you the idea of another part of free will if you have chosen a wrong path you can try a different one .

The choices are yours, but God knew which one you will take, whether is right or wrong. He is God and is omniscient...but are still your choices, He doesn't forces you to do or not to do something, you decide, that's called free will.

God gives us information all the time and allows us to make our own choices. He even tells us the consequences of our actions: "The wages of sin is death". He loves us enough to let us make mistakes but he wants all of us to make the right choices and it is to our benefit to do so.

Nothing is predestined.....We are a part of God....Think about your question....If God created everything and he created us than we are part of God...correct....as far as God knowing everything...this is a question that is unanswerable. Our human mind cannot even begin to fathom the depth of this question.....I would like to ask you a question....Are you comfortable with the fact that some questions are and always will be unknowable?
