Sounds logical, but I might point out that this logic results in a
conclusion based on personal experience rather than on God's Word.
(Please note: I'm not saying it contradicts or is inconsistent with
God's Word; I'm not saying one way or the other. What I'm saying is that
your conclusion is based not on the text but on personal experience.)
A book I read a year or two brought this point home: most of us don't
reject the miraculous because of what the Bible says, but rather because
we don't experience the miraculous, and then force-fit our experience
into our understanding of what the Bible says.
