Does God keep Sabbath?

I think in a sense yes He does, in that He seems to reckon time according to the calendar He gave in the Bible. But not in the sense of regularly ceasing from His usual activities (He has no need of recuperation). Interesting idea, that God participates with us in the things we do. Does God go to church with us? In a sense yes. At least I would hope so, no sense going to church without Him.

Now that we have gone from a hill in Jerusalem to a worldwide worship center. He still has a time to meet us, and that on a day seperated for all of us. Now not that He needs to take a load off, and catch some rays on the porch. No, it is a time of worship, were we all come together (God first and foremost) and have communion with Him. Maybe I'm reading to much into it?
