He reinforces our own choices. Pharaoh hardened his own heart....then God did the same.
If you walk away from God, He will let you. But "IF you draw near to God, He will draw near to you"
In other words, to you, God is The Great Puppetmaster controlling everything. Any sense of choice or free will is an illusion. The universe is God's game table and we're all pieces that He moves around according to His whims.
