The focus on the "cup of blessing" is to be a blessing to the Lord. It is also to be a thanksgiving to God. For all of the great things that He does for us on a daily basis. We have been taught to be very self-centered during our worship. We have been taught that all of the blessings are for us. We have the idea that worship is there to amuse us or entertain us. We really need to put it back into proper perspectives that God should be the key element that we are there to worship.
