If you want human logic on God, how about this:
he has free will and he can see the future, they're not mutually exclusive

think of it this way:
you have a dilemma, you can pick 2 possible ways to solve it.
You can look into the future to see what both ways will have as immediate and long-term effects.
You weigh both against eachother and decide on the best.

How about you look into the immediate future, see which one you are going to pick as the best one and save yourself trouble

Does this mean you don't have free will? No, you can still opt for the other solution, just to spice things up

Looking into the future also means you know which choice you are going to make, so how do you have a choice? If you did have a choice then when you saw yourself making a choice that wasn't future. The point is that it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to see the future AND have a choice. Just draw a truth table.
