Per the midrash quoted in this answer, Hashem keeps all commandments, if so how does the midrash explain why Hashem makes it rain on Shabbat wouldn't that be a Zoreia - Sowing

See Rambam Hilchot Shabbat 8:2

אֲבָל הַמַּשְׁקֶה צְמָחִין וְאִילָנוֹת בְּשַׁבָּת הֲרֵי זֶה תּוֹלֶדֶת זוֹרֵעַ וְחַיָּב בְּכָל שֶׁהוּא.

In contrast, watering plants and trees on the Sabbath is considered merely a derivative of sowing

    Please be aware that Hashem is real, and this world is a mashal, an absolute nothing. Whatever it means to do zoreia for real, we don't know, but we can assume that He keeps that mitzva "on His level" so to speak.

    @RabbiKaii i don't disagree, my question is how the midrash would interpret it, given that it went as far as explaining how Hashem carries.

    If you set up (before Shabbat) an irrigation system to run on a timer is that a problem?

    @Yoreinu at what point in time did Hashem act so that it would rain on Shabbat?
