We're not talking about a person; we're talking about God. With our finite minds, we cannot understand more about Him than what He has revealed about Himself through scripture. So it is a waste of time to wonder if God is happy about knowing the future, because He didn't say.
We only need to be concerned with how we can please Him according to the Scriptures.
