Miracles are signs, not the destination
Consider John 2:11 (KJV):
"This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him."
Notice two things. Jesus performed a miracle, but the miracle was not an end in itself. Through it, He manifested His glory, and His disciples believed on Him.
In the Gospel of John, the Greek word commonly translated sign is sēmeion (σημεῖον). A sign points beyond itself to something greater.
Therefore, the miracle is not supposed to become the object of our pursuit. It should direct our attention to the One performing it.
