If you watch your young child make a decision, there’s a good chance you will know in advance what he will decide. When you know your spouse really well, there is a good chance you will know some of his/her decisions as well. The better you know someone, the more thoroughly you know them, the better you can know what there choices will be. But this does not affect the decision in any way. Since Hashem knows us inside and out and knows all our motivations, it shouldn’t be too hard for Him to know the paths we will take. But until we take those paths and make those choices, it is US who don’t know and it is WE who need to learn ourselves through taking note of the choices/decisions we make.
