Thanks for linking that, Andrew. John, those Scriptures definitely made it easier for me to believe in God's sovereignty in a general sense, and thus eventually made the idea of that sovereignty applying in salvation easier to swallow as well. But directly, those passages are mainly focused on His sovereignty
in the everyday affairs and events of daily life. The more specific issues surrounding His sovereignty
in salvation are rooted in the TULIP acronym. For some helpful Scriptures on that, you might want to take a look at some of the verses the authors of the Canons of Dordt included throughout the text. Also, I compiled another list specifically focusing on the TULIP issues, again more specifically than the above list.
It's online, at APM and I think at one of my blogs, but that was a few years back, and I've changed it here and there since then...so I've attached the latest version to my post here. Hope it helps!
P. S. I guess it was too long to show up in the post, but the full title is supposed to be "A Brief Definition of the Doctrines of Grace, or the Five Points of Calvinism (T.U.L.I.P.), and Scriptures Supporting Them."

Well Bawb, it may very well
seem like trouble, but just remember that God sovereignly ordained
that, too.
