Do you misspell part of your subject line on purpose, every so often? 
I've got special filters to handle these daily Bible studies, and no 
matter how many filters I use, you keep coming up up with a new way to 
misspell either "Bible", "Study", or "Journey". Today, it's "bibkle".

> Dorcas Restored to Life
> 
> 36 (2Ch 2:16; Ezr 3:7) In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha,
> which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and almsgiving.
> 37 (Ac 1:13; 20:8) In those days she became ill and died. And when they had
> washed her, they placed her in an upper room.
> 38 (Ac 9:36) Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter
> was there, sent two men to him, pleading, "Do not delay to come to us."
> 39 Peter rose up and went with them. When he arrived, they led him into
> the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping,
> and showing the tunics and garments
> which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
> 40 (Mt 9:25; Ac 7:60) Peter put them all outside and knelt down and prayed.
> And turning to the body he said, "Tabitha, arise." She opened her eyes,
> and when she saw Peter she sat up.
> 41 (Ac 6:1) He gave her his hand and lifted her up. And when he had called
> the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
> 42 (Jn 11:45; 12:11) It became known throughout all Joppa,
> and many believed in the Lord.
> 43 (Ac 10:6; 10:32) He remained in Joppa for many days with Simon, a tanner.
> 
> [36] Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by
> interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and
> almsdeeds which she did.
> [37] And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom
> when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
> [38] And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard
> that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would
> not delay to come to them.
> [39] Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him
> into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing
> the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
> [40] But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning
> him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she
> saw Peter, she sat up.
> [41] And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the
> saints and widows, presented her alive.
> [42] And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

-- 
Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God 
raised Him from the dead?

That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death 
penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death 
satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John 
2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your 
sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.

On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on 
the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name 
of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
