Pikachu okay, the best way to reconcile these two issues is by comparing it to a parent with their teen children...
Let's say you have a sixteen year old son who is just starting to drive on his own. Now, you have taught him the proper rules of the road and warned him against bad driving behaviors while training him to drive. Still, he doesn't seem to listen, and chooses to go everywhere at 90 mph, while getting drunk or high with his friends because he's young and doesn't think anything will happen to him.
When you are not in the car with him, you don't control his every action. But if you tell him he is going to kill himself or someone else, or you tell him he will get pulled over and suffer those consequences, are you merely guessing? Or do you know that eventually these are the most likely outcomes? And does it mean that it is carved in stone for him, or can he change?
When we say God
knows every beat of your heart and blink of your eye, we are not saying He knows exactly what you will choose to do each second. We are saying He knows each choice you are faced with and how those decisions will end no matter which way you decide. The choice is still up to you.
