God tests us for us...not for Himself.

I am fascinated by the story of God testing Abraham.  God knows the whole story...He knows Abraham will choose to trust Him.  But will Abraham ever know that during the most difficult moment of his life, he will choose God over what he loves the most had he not gone through that testing?  Being an all-knowing God, I do not think He tests people so He can be assured that we love Him and we trust Him.  He knows what our choice will be in the end.  But we need to know for ourselves too.
