I’ve never understood why God would present challenges when He already knows the outcome.

If I could ammend my post, I would say that rather that God lets things happen. He does not challenge, but he wont stop something bad from happening either. Its up to us to see the blessings He has provided, and not be bitter about what our sinful world might take away. And, no, we cant begin to fully understand while we are of this world.

God does not challenge us to see how we respond. He already knows that.

He wants *US* to know how we respond. He wants *US* to know ourselves and to show us and those around us who and what we really are.
