God is omniscient and knows all things before they even happen.
However, he often puts us to the test by doing things that will give us an opportunity to prove ourselves to him by our actions. Through these actions, God can often teach us lessons and help us grow closer to him and more to his will.
This was the case for Abraham, God wanted to test Abraham to see if he really and truly would make the choice to serve the will of God.
While God knows what we are going to do in advance, he gives us the choice of free will to decide what we want to do for ourselves, whether we decide to make choices for him, or to go our own way apart from God.
