I see nothing contradictory about a God who knows what choices we will make with the free will He has blessed us with.
Yes we can choose.
Yes He knows the choices we will make before we make them.
God is Sovereign.

But that overlooks the fact that He chooses us, we don't choose Him. Fundamental part of the Story.
Each and every time, it was God that called, summoned, initiated, chose and appealed to. He does the choosing, and that makes our "choice" a very small detail in the scheme of things. Once we are approached by the Hound of Heaven, there is not much else we can do (though I do believe one can reject His goodness -- I find that it's difficult).
No one can even come to Him, unless the Spirit draws them.
