From our point of view we have a choice but from Hashem’s point of view we dont.

Example: You are about to do something and then all of a sudden (based on your previous experience or learning or emotions) you realize that you shouldn’t be doing it and you stop yourself.

It took you time to come up with that decision not to do it. So you feel like you made a choice.

But for Hashem it was instant at the very beginning when you got the original idea to do it Hashem already knew how you’ll feel about it and what memories it will trigger and based on that you wont end up doing this action.
